Hi guys im back again and this time armed with champix lol i figured i would explore the cold turkey with help approach as i feel cold turkey is the best way..

anyways i didnt expect this tbh. i took my first 0.5mg tablet this morning and this afternoon i would rather have a squirt of niccy spray than have a cig. when i have a cig i go super hypo, get palpitations, then i go all tired and feel like crud. oh and feel sick as well! anyone else found this on their first day?

no wonder people quit easily on day 8-14 if it is the case! xx

Hi Nikki, I felt sick with Champix too. I think it is a common side effect. I actually found Champix really good and credit them with the fact that I appear to have a successful quit. Dont think I could have done it without them.:)
