If it wasnt for me investigating my husbands case, he would be still believing that he’s changed over night and that we’ve drifted apart and would be heading down the road to divorce and loosing everything that he’s worked hard for- he was even on the brink of quiting his job a few weeks ago!!. I printed out the many stories that i found over the web and got him to read them, and left him to take it in this week.

he told me tonight that he is going to move out temporarily to clear his mind, and we had a good positive talk about what he is going through. I told him that im worried for him an that i feel that he is experiencing depression, and that he should go see the GP that prescribed him the champix and take it from there- he’s agreed to that. He admitted to me that he could relate to the stories that he read. I asked him what physical things he was feeling besides, migrains, back pains, and depression. i asked him if he had any numbness in his feet or such and he told me that he has numbness in one of his hands. i asked him if he’s experienced a yuckky metalic taiste in his mouth and he was surprised and said yeah thats why ive been goinng to the denist in the last 2 weeks. hes been replacing his metallic fillings because he thought that was where the metallic taiste was coming from. hes never had a great memory but that seems to be even worse now- and ive told him to start keeping a journal so he can refer back to things if he needs to. He’s still having the horror dreams at least once a week.

Im hopefull that things will sort themselves out- i just hope it happens soon, and await the day that I see a smile back on my babys face!

this CHAMPIX is not worth taking, not unless you want to experience some major drama in your life!

is there an active support group for victims of this drug? If not maybe it would be a good idea to start one

as previously mentioned, i found the above story online while looking up the possible temporary and permanent effects of this new wonder drug. its of course at everyones discretion to use or not use it but, please do some research before making the decision. i personally will NOT be trying this drug now after spending a few hours online researching its affects. all the best to my fellow cold turkey quitters :-)
