I'm back again! Well, the e-cigs didn't work. At least, they did for 6 months then got too expensive!! Day one on Champix. I've got myself down to about 3 cigs a day before I started taking it so hopefully this should be doable.
I feel disgusting though!!
Good luck all... see you on day two!

I've been on Champix and they did the trick for me...even though I had a short course and reduced dose cos they made me feel so sick. I miss the absolutely incredible dreams I had when I was on them. Hope they do the same for you and you get great dreams I'm in week 12 now thanks to Champix.
Hi just to say ive been on champix for 12 days now and quit smoking 6days ago
it makes you feel sick for the 1st couple of days and you dont enjoy your fag much either :confused:
I have wicked dreams and really dont mind them as some are great i must admit u still crave with champix but its strange you dont actually want a fag its just the habit and the craving... i found when my cravings were at their worse id have the nicotinell 1mg lozenger and that would do the trick
I hope this helped from my point of view from champix
I'm quitting on Champix too. I carried on smoking for the first 30 days on Champix while cutting down gradually to 2 fags a day before I quit. I found if I smoked a lot on Champix that my head ached, so it acted as a brake. Just on Champix now.
It is a bit unnerving those first few days on Champix when you just don't know what side effects you are going to get - if any.
It really is one day at a time, and I find it better not to think too far ahead.
Ive been on champix now for two weeks, one week the white tablet where you can smoke with and my first week with the blue pill smoke free,i will say make sure you have had a good meal before you take one as sickness kicks in,i have a meal and as soon as i have finished i take one and no sickness happens to me,the dreams are amazing and they feel so real,sometimes there alittle weird like alice in wonderland,good luck and stay strong
Thanks for your support On day 4 of the tablets tomorrow. Not had any side effects yet but did pop out for a quick break today at work and could only smoke half of my fag! Going onto 2 a-day tomorrow! Don't normally eat breakfast but being having a small bread roll then taking my tablet with water and then having a nice hot cup of coffee.
I must admit some of my fags don't seem very good lately
Thanks Sian, congratulations you're doing well, hope I will do it too!! Day 6 today on the tablets. Smoking seems to be getting less pleasureable! The nicotine seems to be motivating me to smoke more than anything else! :mad:
