Hi all

Ive just been to the docs for a check up. Told him i had forgotton to take the evening champix for the last 4 days, so he suggested stopping taking it if i feel ok. So lets see how that goes. I cant see why not give it a go, only problem is its only been 25 days and am i ready????. I dont know i guess i will find out.

Hang in there

Jack

Hi

If you don't feel ready to let go of Champix yet, try cutting it in half and just taking a half each day for a week or so. That's what I'm doing and it's working out fine. I started that after about a month. Quite a few people have suggested 'weaning' yourself off Champix rather than just stop from maximum dose.

Don't risk your quit by quitting too early (if you see what I mean)

Hi Jack

I think as long as your doctor is advising you, give it a go. I was at the doctor's yesterday (he has me come every 2 wks), and I asked him how long he planned to keep me on it. He said the earliest he considers taking people off is after 6 weeks of not smoking.

take care

Hi Jack :D

I think 25 days is a bit soon top syop iy but if the Doc thinks you're ready why not give it a go but don't chuck any you have left just yet that way you can go back to them if you need to

Love

Although you are cutting one dose out.. cutting out completely this soon is highly dependent on you. It does seem a bit soon truth be told but if it was me, i would have a very very long think about it.

Number 1 priority is do not risk your quit for a spot of experimentation unless you are extremely confident of success doing it. If there is any doubt of any kind.. consider if now is a good time.

WOAH! Every day I thank my lucky stars I moved from Ireland to London in 2008. Sorry I don't mean that sarcastically by the way. Over here we get Champix for £7.40 a go
