Sure. I'm on day two as well. With patches though. I'm interested in the champix experience too. haven't tried it yet

I think champix is the best way to try and give up, found that it is best to take the 2nd pill late afternoon or early evening, not just before going to bed, end up sleeping better and not so many vivid dreams. Think it stop the craving as well, think you must complete the full course, many stop halfway through because they feel the don't need to take the champix anymore. What do other think?

how are you finding day two tosco?

my cravings are there but are not too bad now

the champix has worked really well for me so far not alot of sickness only when i take it to long after eating its the best way to go!

I am 6 weeks quit on Champix, still taking it, and took the tabs for 2 weeks before stopping smoking - here's a tip for the tabs: take the tab half way through a meal and make sure you drink a cup or glass of liquid with your meal to reduce the nausea.. I take mine with breakfast and dinner, regardless of the time I eat, but really try to do dinner before 8 to sleep better...

I reduced my dose around week 3 to one a day, big mistake, and ended up smoking 1 cigarette that week, so don't get too tame with the champix, it does stop the cravings - stay on the dose the doc recommends..

I have just got used to the vivid dreams, and weigh it up against not smoking, and its worth it guys.. I beleive Cold Turkey also gives you poor sleep for a few weeks.., so all the symptoms of champix, may just be related to quitting the addiction.

My take - quit any way you can, when you get to around 3 weeks, its sooooo worth it and not worth messing up your "Record", and you start to notice big health and financial benefits..

Keep at it and good luck guys..

Limit the casual booze too, mine dreams are way worse if a have a beer or 2.., so now I avoid my casual midweek beers..

You are a "he" right? - just guessing by your avatar shadow, as Champix cant be used if you are pregnant..LOL!
