I'm starting Champix on Sunday, got the script today. This is about the 6th method I've tried so it WILL work because I am going to make it work!!!!

Thanks!I got the script filled today so I'll start tomorrow. Have heard a little bit of bad news about the side effects but I figure the side effects of smoking are much worse.

hey Daisy, Champix are great. If u get the nausea, try and push through it, it's worth it. I'm on my 27th smoke free day and going great. I also highly recommend alan Carr's book the Easy Way, I am reading it at the moment and I am amazed at how positive I am feeling - this guy makes so much sense.

Thanks all!!! Quit date is Sunday, which is very appropriate as it is Mothers Day and my two beautiful kids are busting for me to stop. Thanks for the Allen Carr suggestion. I have read the book a couple of years ago and it worked perfectly until after 8months I was arrogant enough to think I could have "just one" of my husband's cigarettes. A word of warning - I re-read the book a few months later and it isn't half as effective. Please learn from my mistake :-)

Hi everyone

On day 10 now and feeling great! Nausea is subsiding and I definitely don't crave cigarettes. On the plus side I seem to be eating less too which has surprised me. I don't know if it is the Champix or that I am not craving sweet things after I have a cigarette like I used to. Lost 2kgs which i really didn't plan or expect as I expected to put on weight. So - all good!
