Hi Kay

I didn't use it but amongst the many posts on here about Champix, I have read a few, small minority, of posts where folk have reported similar feelings.

If someone is feeling like that, best they see their doc or practise nurse about it. They may be one of the unlucky ones who Champix isn't good for.

No in a word - I'm one of the lucky ones who've found champix a blessing - yes there are side effects but nothing too bad for me. I've had lots of feelings ranging from anger through to depression but reading others posts on here I would have felt the same regardless of how I'd quit :)

Sorry to read about your breakup...it must be traumatic doing that as well as continuing with stopping smoking to say the least.

TBH I'm not entirely sure that being argumentative is a by-product of Champix...mostly I've read that folk had an easy time like Pookie mentions. And then there are a small percentage that have depressive type symptoms. Anger, tbh, seems to be a part of stopping smoking, frustration or the last struggles of the drug leaving our systems. Do talk things over with your doctor and mention that you are concerned about the anger issue

When we stop smoking and focus upon that we are changing our daily lives around. No longer is it revolving around a smoke, no longer are we slaves to nicotine, having to stop at various times of the day to get a hit. We are changing our habits and the things we do. Some folk make pretty dramatic changes to their daily routine. And most of us are making hugely positive changes. Is it possible that this is what your OH has noticed? I suspsect it must be quite confusing to those closest to us...this change in our habits.

Hope you can work things out.
