Hi RoisinO1 - Yes I will be knocking on the door in exactly 32 days! But who’s counting 😂

Hi Hygiene100 , I honestly just thought to myself that I must make sure to reply to you today and as I'm signing in your last message comes in

There is a specific dosage schedule that explains how many to take and when.

It begins with the first 3 days: take 1 tablet 6 times daily (every 2 hours) with a parallel reduction of the number of

cigarettes smoked. So you take 6 tablets a day while you also smoke 6 cigarettes less. I'll have to figure out how to attach it and I'll send it straight to you.

After the first 3 days you already start to reduce the total tablets you take in a day. So by the time I stopped using them completely I had already had about a week of taking half, one, two or even none a day.

Though I was quite scared I'm happy to say that I never got hit with super strong cravings after I stopped the Tablex.

In reply to your earlier questions; No the Tablex did not completely eliminate the cravings, but they were more like thoughts and I was ready for them because I expected them. So I acknowledged them while I'd take a deep breath. I took a lot of deep breaths in the first days & weeks lol.

I still felt like I had a void in my life (I still do a little at times), but I never experienced those all consuming strong cravings that seem to take over your mind. So definitely less demanding and as such quite manageable.

Funny enough I was almost obsessed with reading stop smoking information from about a month before my stop date to about a month in. I found that reading people's stories on here and all the info on the whyquit.com site really helped me to stay focussed on my stop.

Hey I've got to go. Sorry for the late reply.

Here's to you @hygiene100! You can do it!!

Keep us informed ok. Lots of support around here for you!

Thanks RoisinO1 - he came out of hospital on Tuesday, still on antibiotics (pneumonia) and his liver function is improving. He has an auto immune condition and they seem to think that played a large part in him becoming so ill...anyway, hopefully he’s properly on the mend. He’s 20, and lives away from home, and typically likes to leave his very worried mum in the dark! Boys!!

Anyway, the Tabex has just arrived in my mail this morning 😁😁, so I’m able to bring my quit date forward to this coming Wednesday, or earlier if they’re as effective as they say....wish me luck 😁😁

How are you getting on Hygiene100 - have you started the tabex yet? How is your son doing?

By the way you don't need luck - thats for doing the lotto, wishing you strength instead as you approach your soon stop date

Hi RoisinO1

Thanks for asking, he’s back at work now and very much on the mend ☺️

I’ve been taking the Tabex for four days now, and it has made a big difference...my quit day is tonight (Australian time) - at 9pm I will smoke my last stick, and will be done.

I’ve cut right down with these, from about 25 last Thursday, to 6 yesterday, and it’s much easier to detach from the impulse to smoke, so I’m sticking to the four ‘C’s

1. Choose and commit to quit

2. Challenge and crush the fear of quitting

3. Change my thoughts around smoking

4. Condition my smoke free life

And lol, you are so right about luck and lotto....

And so glad we have this page for support ❤️❤️
