Champix Quitter on Day 5.

[nsd_user663_9487]

Hi.

Ive been on champix for 11 days now and stop the smokes for 5 days. Over the last five days ive started to feel tired and grumpy all the time and snapping at people. I dont know if this is the lack of nicotene or the tablets?

Any one advise?

Cheers

Russ

I also used Champix and felt just as you describe early in my quit

Cheers for the quick response. The grumpiness and mood swings seem to come in waves throughout the day, but the tiredness is constant.

Hi Russ

Yeah that's about right hun grab a nap as and when you can is my advice re the tiredness even 5 mins makes a difference OK

The mood swings will keep changing you can go from laughter to anger or tears or anything else you can think all in a few mins sometimes

I warned everyone I knew to take no notice if I was nasty for the first few weeks
