I took it for 6 weeks, I felt that by that time I could probably deal without and so I started to wean myself off when I accidentally forgot to take one.
I suffered no ill effects at all when I stopped taking them.
If you are feeling rough, and you feel strong enough with your quit - you might want to try the same thing.
If you're feeling rough and don't feel strong enough with your quit yet - see a Doctor to see if anything can be done about the side effects. It's not worth risking a good quit over.
You could skip the morning pill, and see how you go. You can always keep it handy and take it if you feel you need it?
I kept mine around for a couple of weeks as a comfort thing - it helped to know they were there.
Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you don't smoke
My Apologies I didn't realise they were making you feel bad and depressed
As you're feeling rough what Stuart is saying makes sense and I know several on the forum have only been able to take one a day and have been fine with that and had no further problems with it
If you feel bad still with that go and see your Dr for advice/help OK
thanks guys - i think that its obviously a big psychological crutch for me but i have made the decision to lay off em and see how it goes.
i spoke to my quitting partner whos doing cold turkey and he's said the same as you guys. if its making you feel that bad and you feel strong give it a go.
he doesn't believe in any medication to stop. unfortunately i dont / didnt have the will power to do what he has done but feel that i can now.
anyway it was a bit of a hard decision to make due to the fact that this is the point where i have failed in the past. anyway i think i will do as stuart has said and keep a few close to hand and use if needed.
i could tell it was a big deal mentally as the dreams ii had last night were all about smoking. i had a few times where i had smoked in the dreams and had woke up mortified. and then very relieved! I havent had that dream yet but i know lots of us on here have!
god its terrifiying!!
i think it was just my subconsious doubting if i could do it on my own. but i think i can.
i certainly feel great today and have had no real thoughts of smoking whatsoever, which is great.
thanks again for your comments. its just good to bounce these things of a few people who've been there themselves.
