Yep i know im back here again , what a palava lol ..........anyway away from all that .........as i get into around the 14th hour of my cold turkey quit i get a really weird head , I feel totally spaced out... it makes my day and doing normal tasks ie school run a real nightmare , standing in the playground waiting for kids to come out is the worst.

Anyone have any tips on how to deal with this??????????:confused:

Hi Casey, if it's any consolation, l quit using Champix and felt just like you do in the beginning. In fact, l felt spaced out for a few weeks, but it does pass eventually. It may be that l smoked nearly 50 a day for 47 years that mine lasted so long. TEE HEE :eek::eek::eek:

Love Josie

hi casey...

I remember that head with utmost clarity:( it's one of the things that makes me stay quit - couldn't stand thought having to go there again...store this godawful feeling in the brain somewhere so if you're ever tempted again you can re-visit it and banish the thoughts of smoking...

But it does pass and the old body soon learns to live with oxygen instead of carbon monoxide:D

Please stay with us - the head won't be any better at the weekend than it is in the week... I found being outside in fresh air was the best place to be - so on the off chance it's not raining where you are, is there something you can do with the "kids" that's outside - hesitate to say "take kids to park" in case they're teenagers!!!:o

Good Luck...

Nicky

EVERYONE that quits CT or complete withdrawl from nicotine feels this,lack of concentration, slurring words, unable to think clearly.

It is the terrorist in your mind blackmailing and torturing you trying to stop you from killing him.

Do not give in, you will be fine with a few days and it will come and go.

Not what you're looking for?
