After many attempts to quit smoking, NRT, Cold turkey, Hypnosis. I have been smoke free for 11 days now.
I am on Champix perscribed from the doctor. I must admit, when i was first handed them i was very sceptical and thought i would not go this long. From the 1st tablet, i went from 12 or so a day to 1-2 a day and after 14 days, quit altogether. I have never gone this long without a cigerette and looking forward to many more years of the same. My Willpower will surge....................
Anyway, great reading all the messages on here, good to see that there is so much support out there.
I have not experienced any side effects really apart from a bit of nausea in the mornings after my 1st pill, however, i have just changed the time and waiting 2 hours or so after breakfast and i am fine!
Only thing i will say is my face has broken out terribly, my diet has not changed, i assume its all the nasty toxins.
Interested to hear other peoples stories!

I can't relate to Champix experience because I didn't ever use it, but there are plenty of people around here who did, and I believe there is even a Champix group on the forum.
I will have a look a thte Champix forum now and read other experiences. I am glad there is a web forum like this as the ones on medical websites, the 'real life experiences were not that good. I had not heard of Champix until i went to the doctor in desperation so fingers crossed!
Little Angel,
Don't worry, i didn't quit until day 14 of the tablets. Start looking forward to not smelling, more cash and freedom to do more rather than any negatives, as they may just be a panic of change.
I am a newbie on this forum too! I am on champix too as I had heard great things about them from friends. I stopped yesterday (after trying to smoke & nearly puking!! lol!!) but am feeling really good about it already!!
