starting to quit!
Today is my first day of 1 mg twice daily tablets (day 8 of Champix). I have extreme nausea today, with some vomiting, which sucks. Trying to remember that that's normal, and this is worth it, which is why I'm here. I've not quit smoking yet, my quit date is Dec 1. Yeah, just struggling with side effects today and thought that some community support would be helpful with it :)
make sure you take your champix with food, you can stop the cigarettes if you have got the right mindset if you really want to quit the smokes just stop, it is that simple, all the best and stay strong.
Hi DaisyFlower, Good girl on deciding top quit I wish you every success. Champix are very good aid to use. I used it and quit the day before my quit date, which was day 13 on Champix. I had similar side effects, The tips I can give you is take the Champix halfway through a meal, then finish the meal. I know it sounds odd, but I found it helped with nausea. Drink, drink and drink loads of water. You have up to the two pills a day, and yes I remember it's a different experience, and you feel the side effects more , but they will pass as your system gets used to them. You are getting close to your set quit date. In my experience in that second week you start to not smoke as much as you used to, its happens naturally. Once you start to come aware of that you start to feel absurd smoking, when you inhale it's not nice, no hit at the back of throat, just a smothering sensation, and a overpowering choking feeling. Very much like you have been chain smoking all night after a party with no sleep, burnout, or like you rolled a newspaper and inhaled, that. I started to find it unbearable and I put it out half way. Then later you light again out of habit, and it happens again, you repeatedly inhale and it's pointless, absurd, and you feel like you are a crazy, and this is the maddest behavior. Rightly so , that it is a crazy behavior. I quit day 14 and no looking back. Stick with it , as it is worth it. I will never smoke again. Keep posting here, stay strong.
