Sorry to hear you've got troubles but as the Doc says to stop taking them I don't see you've a choice:(

Good luck with the quit anyway and I hope you don't let it set you back.

Cheers

There are a lot of bugs going round, hope you're feeling better soon.

I've just got over a man-cold, trouble is women just don't realise how serious they are:p

Dave...

just wondering how you're getting on with the champix? was such a miracle drug for me feel it would be a shame if you had to give it up...

I had all sorts side effects but I just cut the dose down til body could cope...stayed on the 5mg dose all through and in the end reduced that to 2.5mg once a day...

anyway, let us know how you're getting on...hope flu's cleared up...:D
