Im on day 16 of champix and day 5 of not smoking. Ive really liked the champix so far but.... it seems like overnight Ive got small bald patches on my head.. One on each side and the front of my crown is thin.. My hair is extremely thick and Ive never experienced anything like this before :eek:
Now I do plan to see the doctor but Im also very very very tempted to throw the champix in the bin and continue cold turkey.
Has anyone had anything similar????????? :confused:

Hi Ya, no not had anything like that, mark and me took it and Ive got family and friends that did the full course and not heard of anyone complaining about their hair. I would keep taking them and see what the dr says
MonaLisa, I did not take Champix, but have not read hair lose as a side effect. Are you taking any other meds? Sometimes they don't mix. Good idea to talk to doctor, but maybe your local pharmacist could help until you see doctor.
I don't have any hair as I keep it shaved off so I can't say if it's a side effect or not ( I'm currently using Champix ). I'd ask your doctor/pharmacist if you're worried about any side effects though.
