Day 5 champix

Hi all,

So I'm on day 5 of taking champix. I WAS a 20plus a day and today without trying to cut down - I only smoked 8!

That's the good news!

The bad news ...nausea and foggy mind ! Also feeling slightly anxious about upping dosage and the side effects worsening.

But hanging on in there as already there is a clear difference

Hi all!

I have smoked for three days!

Feeling pretty good - have def had a few cravings some quite intense but mostly just not thinking too much about it.

Have def slept much better!

Take it that is a typo Jt2017 and you have NOT smoked for 3 days, if so, huge congratulations and well done, stay close to us - the nicotine will be out of your system after 3 days so the mental battle has begun and your mind and body is rewiring, repairing and recovering which will take time....
