well here we are made it this far,but things have changed a little

have been taking champix since I started the quit,

I am on day 22 no ciggies

was wondering why I was getting out of breath and tight chested

really started to affect me,

also had appetite swings,headaches sometimes and a few other things.

these are things I never suffer from in everyday life,so was getting quite

worried,

a word with the old kitchen viper and then with the practice nurse

STOPPED THE TABLETS

have decided to go this alone from here on in

I know that the tablets were helping me,just that I did not like the affect

they were having on me,which is probally very different to everyone else

but I am now 2 days in with no tablets nothing,

feel just as positive to see this through

and get this dam monkey of my back

will report again in a couple of days with a update on progress

cheers

Hi Stef. I was in the same boat with the Champix. Found the first few days without it a little gnawy & tough but that was it.

Stay strong :D

Hi Steph

I also had the breathlessness went to GP and consultant...it was diagnosed as depression/anxiety/stress....I thought that was rubbish but in retrospect it was.

Try not to worry and go back to doc to get checked over....

Good luck my lovely
