My second day on champix

[nsd_user663_39197]

Hi there everyone, a newbie here! I received my prescription yesterday and collected straight away from chemist. I took one yesterday and one this morning, a little wave of sicky feeling came upon me maybe an hour after i took it but apart from that i feel good, i am still yet to choose the day i stop smoking yikes!!! thinking xmas eve actually as that would be day 8 i think! im already i would say not fancying one as much which could be in my head rather than tablets kicking in! anyone esle just started and still at the smoking stage? i feel terrible for smoking still but thats what ive been told! im not a heavy smoker just a very addicted one i guess.

Hi shiny

Welcome. I stopped after three days on the champix - now on day 8. There are a couple of groups you can join - Champix and the december group for further support.

The more the better.

Hey shiny-strawberry, I know when I first started the Champix it was a funny feeling to carry on smoking when I felt I had made the decision to stop. If you can, try picking a day and sticking to it, it can be so easy to let the days pass you by. I was worried about my quit day as I wasnt experiencing strong side effects and still craving but when the day came it was no problem for me. Good Luck!
