Champix
Hi everybody,
Today is day two starting Champix. I have read a few of the experiences of others and not sure how I feel... whether to be excited or worry about the negative side-effects. So far I've noticed slight lightheadedness and I can taste better which surprised me. I've set my quit date for next Friday.
I only took up smoking just over 3 years ago having met my new partner. What a silly girl I was. I hated the smell of smoke from others my whole life and here I am a smoker! I've attempted to quit and now have come to realise how difficult it really is. Laser therapy I lasted 3 months. Patches - 2 days. So here I am hoping that Champix will help me to stay off the cigs for good. I'm also aware that I need to have a strategic plan as well.
Hi Chardynon, You can quit! Read the stories on this site and you'll see lots of successful quitters. It can be done , and I think it's not really that hard if you just make up your mind, realize it's an addiction, and repeatedly say NO to temptation. You can do it.
Thanks Paidi, if I can give up the wine (6 months) - I can do this! I actually feel a little excited about it now.
Stop taking it now!
THIS DRUG IS AS GOOD AS DRINKING THE "KOOL AID" at the mass sucide in November 1978 Jonestown. In which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple, who were followers of Jim Jones, died, many of whom committed suicide by drinking a mixture of a powdered soft-drink flavoring agent laced with cyanide and prescription drugs Valium, Phenergan, and chloral hydrate, while the rest of the members, including 89 infants and elderly, were killed by forced ingestion of the poison.
CHAMPIX IS KNOWN AS THE SUCIDE DRUG FOR A REASON. YOU WILL WANT TO DIE - YOULL FEEL SO BAD.
Firstly when did "making someone feel BAD" ever cure addiction? Its the opposite - you need to make them feel good. There's a hole and void to fill - which cigarettes do perfectly. Usually in the heart.
THIS DRUG IS A GIMMICK. WHATS A GIMMICK??

After your done taking this drug and you feel so sick in the stomach -- so bad -- PFIZER will be there with there next drug to fix your side effects. So, you started out with one drug to quit smoking and you end up on 29 of their finest "GOLD STANDARD" Drugs to fix the 29 new issues (or side effects) you NOW HAVE. YOU DIDNT HAVE THEM BEFORE - BUT YOUR SURE AS ** DO NOW!!
This can be anything from antidepressants to cancer drugs - as champix will cause the proliferation of existing cancer tumor cells accelerating any small tumors you may have! Yay (SO YOU NOW HAVE AGGRESSIVE CANCER) TO high blood pressure, diabetes from eating so much junk from quitting smoking to ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!!!! THEY CAN THINK OF....
THESE pharmaceutical COMPANIES ARE NO BETTER THAN TRAVELLING SALES MEN - THE CIRCUS - THEY NEED YOU TO TAKE THEIR PRODUCT AND GET SICK SO THEY CAN FEED YOU 29 OF THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS - AS BADLY AS THEY NEED TO PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLES AND BUY THEIR 18YR OLD DAUGHTER A BMW..
This DRUG - CHAMPIX, THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES and the CANCER ONCOLOGY DOCTORS - ARE THE MOST DESPICABLE, DISGUSTING SALES PEOPLE YOULL EVER MEET.
The oncologists get massive kickbacks from selling the cancer drugs bought wholesale from the pharmaceutical companies - THEY WANT YOU TO BE SICK!! IT PUTS BREAD ON THEIR TABLE AND BACON UP THEIR****** TO THE TUNE OF A SIMPLE $40,000 PA - and this is what's declared - what we know about!
Interesting a vegetarian or vegan diet would stop cancer from developing in the first place - but its unheard of for oncologists to speak of it.
THESE PEOPLE ARE NO BETTER THAN THE TRAVELLING CIRCUS. In fact the circus usually has more heart.
PLEASE MEET MY NEW TRAVELLING SALES LADY Michaelly White (ONCOLOGIST) & her MAGICAL TRAINED MONKEY - MS KRAUSS (cancer nurse).
Its amazing what that monkey can do - carry pamphlets, give injections. Jeez I failed school but I reckon I could do it!!??
Don't do it! It will make you quit about as much as patches do - without the horrible side effects. The reports are no joke! Its a very dangerous drug. It resulted in me getting cancer 4-5mths after taking it. And the same for many others but the link isn't noticed. There are some reports from 2010 of aggressive cancers following use of champix. The depression, utter fatigue and suicidal ideation persists 6 yrs later. You need to work out WHY your are smoking beyond the addiction -ie. Energy levels, thyroid, stress, hormones - and address THE ACTUAL ISSUE causing your addiction. Natural is better and Allen Carr's book works - it will take you just as far on your quit journey as will patches and you won't sit there by yourself later regretting taking some drug that makes these money hungry pharmaceutical companies billions of $. DONT DO IT!
The drug causes permanent damage and changes to vital processes in the brain. It can't be undone like you can take a patch off. It takes up to 7-9years for your body to recover and replace all cells etc. Even then the damage can already be done. The TGA has received several documents questioning why there are not warning labels on the Australian version and it continues to be ignored and covered up.
Money talks. Don't be another regretful statstistic. These reports are REAL. Its extremely dangerous.
These doctors, oncologists and pharmaceutical companies SHOULD BE THE MOST DISRESPECTED PROFESSION IN THE WORLD NOT RESPECTED.
THEY GET INTO IT FOR THE MONEY AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. THEY CARE ABOUT GETTING PAID.
There are drug dealers on the street with more ETHICS, MORALS, EMPATHY AND CARE FOR YOUR HEALTH than these people have.
