Welcome Mary. Well done on getting to week 4. Have you been getting any side effects from using Champix?

Well done Mary :)

That sounds like fantastic news.

Really wish you luck for your quit.

You're through the worst so you've got this covered :)

Take care

Well done Mary,I too know nothing about Champix but my really negative symptoms disappeared after about 30 days of CT so hopefully the peace will stay with you!

Hi Mary and welcome.

I did it with Champix , a short course and half the dose cos they did make me feel very, very sick, but they did the trick and I am well over 4 months quit now. I must say I did enjoy the dreams and was sorry when I lost those. You'll find the weeks fly by I am sure.

Hi and welcome :) and WELL DONE on quitting!

I found it too easy on champix too! I kept waiting for gigantic craves and had none! I have stopped them after about 8 weeks (am still getting my prescriptions though - doesn't hurt to be prepared!) and have been off them what, about a week now. Minimal craves/thoughts of smoking and I am still chilled and happy about being a nonsmoker.

They are magic tablets (for my mum, sis and me) and I hope they keep you on the right, fresh, clean, fragrant, happy path :D. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hello Mary!

Welcome! Well done on getting so far already :D Champix are amazing, aren't they? Some people have worse side effects than others but it sounds like you are doing fine. Please keep posting to let us know how you are getting on.
