Champix and no energy

[Liebedich]

I am week 3 off champix and my mouth and tooth start hurting really bad. Also feel like a bus run me over when I have to get up. My sleep are not very good. So I start taking only my morning pill but is not getting g better. I am a mum and do need energy to get my kids started in the morning. I am. Smoke free now for 4 days. I don't really got any graving. So. I think to get off champix. What you guys think

Congratulations on getting this far! 🙂

Honestly I’d go see a dentist if you have an abscess on your tooth and it gets into your bloodstream it can make you feel as you describe.

Better to get it checked by a dentist to put your mind at rest.

Hopefully it’s nothing

And can be sorted out easily

Thank you for your response. I know if getting wores I have to go to the dentis. I just don't have the money right know. I can't see anything swollen in my mouth. But I will keep eye on it. I just thinking to drop taking champix, but worried I start smoking again. So I think I just keep going with one a day and see how I go.

Is good to get some respond thank you so much

Hi Liebedich

Well done 4 days not smoking.

I just want to say I had an issue sleeping with the night pill and I have been using the morning one since I stop smoking. Its been 21 days now with no issue of getting back.

Hope this help

Thank you it does help. Went to my doctor and she said to keep going with one and later on use the night ones to go half a day. So long it works for me. Good luck for both off as. I just can't wait to luve a. Life without smoking.

Welcome Liebedich - congratulations on almost 1 week smoke free, well done!

The sleep disruption and lack of energy will be more nicotine withdrawal rather than champix side effects. Your doctor is correct to continue with the champix as their instructions. Several members here stopped the champix without completing the full 12 weeks course and relapsed. I promise, things will start to improve as each day passes.

Just take it one day at a time, below is a pinned post worth a read if not already done so:

Looking forward to reading your progress

1 week smoke free Liebedich - hope you have a wee treat lined up for your first big milestone

I forgot to mention in my initial reply to you, be sure not to leave it too long to go to your dentist as smoking masks mouth, gum and dental issues - I didn't go to mine for at least a year and a half after I stopped and had moderate gum disease and had to get root canal treatment done which cost me a small fortune
