Night time stuff

Had a few nights were I've woken about 3am - 7am, feeling very anxious, hot & heart racing thinking I'm gonna have a heart attack. I toss and turn and have mini sleeps, I'm ok when I get up around 8 or 9am. I'm on 4mg gum down to about 6 a day now ... is it normal side effects through taking less gum ?

Hi Paul....That is a awkward feeling and I experienced almost the same symptoms when I came of the Champix 2 weeks ago....

It was like the first 3 days of my quit Just much more intense......I struggled through and believed it is the Nicodemon who refused to let go....

Yes, sleeping like a baby... sleep a little...cry a little exactly !!!!.. (My heart raced and felt it gonna leave my chest)

Paul I cant give advice but No...it is nothing different than kinda withdrawal symptoms...:confused: (Maybe because of the reduced gum ? )

Hang in there buddy .. you are doing gr8 !!! :cool:

Hi Paul, not a lot I can offer, but I'm with Hercu – its does sound kinda like withdrawal. I went cold turkey and I had that same kinda experience my first week. Hopefully it will sort its self out soon, as you adjust to the lower dosage.

Best wishes for a good night sleep this weekend....:)
