Week 2 but really finding it hard.

After having such a bad day yesterday i hoped today would be easier but hardly slept a wink last night and this morning i was having the monster cravings again.So in desperation i called the quacks and got an appointment this afternoon to see if he could help.So saw the doctor and asked about Champix and he told me that he does not prescribe it and has heard rumors that the nhs are going to withdraw it in the next few months due to the recent reports of suicides.Anyway he has prescribed me with a course of zyban and i have started taking them this afternoon.I have to see the nurse next week and sort out the plan or whatever.I still have not smoked and do feel a lot better already the monster cravings have gone for now so i feel a bit more focused again.I am going to be a non smoker no matter what.:)

Hi Stevie

Hope you feel better later on. I heard that about Champix, I was going to try it but I changed my mind.

Yeah i have seen that before,but he was ok with prescribing zyban which ive read can cause similar side effects but i am feeling better at the mo and more positive.Like before i am going to take it day by day.

Again thanks for all the support.

Hey Stevie, despite the bad feelings and slight setback (if you could call it that), you still have the right attitude and the belief in yourself that you can do it. That's the most important thing! Stay strong, mate!
