Last week of champix course

Hello all.

I’m on my last week of champix & can’t wait to stop taking the bloody stuff. I have 6 pills left so reducing to one a day instead of two. I think my stop date was around mid July & I feel hardly any cravings. As mentioned before here, I barely think about smoking & I’m feeling good. No weight gain, still working out at the gym & I have a lot more energy. I’ll post again a little while after being both champix and smoke free 🤗

Good to read an update from you Sparkle11 and that you are plodding along nicely :)

Your stop date was 14 July so almost 3 months which is great, well done!

Look forward to your next update :)

That’s excellent JodiG & just what I needed to hear as I’ve heard that some people have withdrawal from the Champix after. Lol 😳 Happy dance for us 💃🏻 (& hopefully my badge will get a new colour soon 😂)

Thanks. I took just one pill a day for the last week not the usual two. I’d read that’s what you’re supposed to do. Feeling good 👍🏼

Do let us know how you feel after stopping the champix. I'm currently on champix and hoping when I stop that I still have the lack of cravings.
