I'd gone seven and a half months (four without champix) without smoking but I completely caved in yesterday. I've had five cigarettes since yesterday afternoon. I don't know what's happened. Will I be able to get champix prescribed again? I'm gutted

After seeing your doctor, pick a date to quit again PipEFC. Feel motivated to quit, but don't be down on yourself. We have all had slips.

Thanks for that Sarah. I've started back on the champix but if the stronger dose I start on Monday makes me feel sick again I'll rethink it. I'm going to have a look at tabex - I've never heard of it. Thanks again.

Hey PipEFC - think the tabex is similar to champix but not under prescription from your doctor which is probably why not many know about it and could potentially cause harmful and dangerous side effects.

We look forward to reading your day 1 post very soon :)
