Hi,

I want to cut down on champix before the end of the course as I have read that just stopping them can cause alot of problems. I was wondering when would be a good time to cut down and by how much. Any advice will be very welcome.

Many thanks

Ian

Hi Ian

Depends how far you are along the course really. If you're only a few weeks in, i'd advise staying the course a while longer. If you've been on them a while, and are finding the quitting process ok, then cut down on them gradually or talk to your quit nurse if you have one.

I stopped taking them just before Christmas, but only because I have a carp memory :rolleyes: and I kept forgetting them. Haven't had any problems since....well only the usual odd crave, but nothing I couldn't handle.

I didn't stop taking them at once tho, cos I didn't know the effects of doing so, so I skipped the odd tablet or too, until I just wasn't aking them anymore.

Sorry to have rambled :p but hope I helped. Good luck on what you decide to do xx
