Hi all I am only new to this and currently I am 9 days smoke free. I have tried many times in the past but always went back to smoking, even tried hypnotherapy ( total waste of money) for me anyway. So this time I felt ready and right I can do this. Was taking Champix tablets got to start of week 4 and started having really bad reactions like heart palpitations, hives, horrible thoughts, lack of sleep. Went to dr who was not my normal dr and was told if I wanted to quit then put up with it. So came home feeling very dejected until my DH noticed i wasn't coping and wanting a smoke he suggested we go to hospital and get checked so glad I did because what I was suffering from was a severe allergic reaction and poisoning from the Champix tablets. Have any other readers had bad reaction to champix. Being at day 9 today last few days have been super tough for me bad stress irritable wanting a smoke so bad but not giving in to the demon. I think if I keep fighting I'm getting stronger. But you give up and then when your health takes a big hit it makes you question why. Feeling so sick atm
