Champix
Just a quick question to those people one month along their quit journey or longer that are on champix. Have you ever had a side effect from the medication that causes migraines?

No but it can happen....I stopped taking it after 2 weeks, I wasn't sleeping and I need my sleep I am a teacher...so now I am on determination alone!

I also stopped soon after I smoked my last cigarette. I figured that actually stopping was the hard part and once I achieved that I quit the Champix too. I am now at day 246 and rarely even think about smoking. I gained about 4 kg but that is starting to drop off again. Champix was great for taking away the initial urge to smoke. I kept a packet just in case but never ended up using them again.
