Well i made it to day 6, The Cough & Chest seem a bit better today thankfully but i am soooooooo tired :(

Am thinking of lowering my 2nd dose of champix to the 0.5mg one to see if that helps?

Any suggestions appreciated x

Hi Sophie :)

Can't help with the Champix I'm afraid 'cos I didn't use it but well done getting through yesterday, it must have been tough for you!!

I was really tired quitting too - was when I quit the e-cig as well - 'cos nicotine is a stimulant :eek:

Saw my nurse and she gave me a script for 1mg & 0.5mg tablets so will see how i go!

Today has been tough, got some really great news this morning and all i can think of is of having a smoke to celebrate! Somebody please slap me!!!!

Good luck with the lower dose and YAY great news :)

Um, don't think I'll slap you unless you spark up *but* that shows what a cunning b**ger the nicotine demon is!!

You know inhaling that tarry smoke isn't a celebration - it wouldn't feel good, especially blowing your quit when you're doing so well :)

Don't know if you've tried quitting before or not, but it really sucks when you ruin a quit :/

Don't know what B+H silvers cost but 30-odd a day must have been £12 so buy yourself a *real* treat with your savings!! Well several with around £72!!

Hang in there hun, this is your first real test isn't it?

On almost all of my quits, i've been extremely tired & lethargic for the first week or two. I think it's just one of those odd side effects. A lot of people go the other way & get insomnia. Given the choice i'd take the tiredness every time!

You're doing incredibly well, keep going!
