Dosage Champix

If they're making u sick i would consider talking to yr doctor or even stopping them. They are fab for some but no good for others. I tried them and they really played around with my anxieties and gave me a panic attack....so i got off straight away. I have heard if u suffer from depression or any form of mental illness u should not be taking them. They are a really strong drug not to be laughed at lightly. Good luck and hope u feel better soon. Some of my friends have been having terrible nightmares on them also.

Hi Converse. I am on day 37 of not smoking and and am half way through my second month of Champix tabs. I also found the nausea absolutely awful although it was only after I had taken the tabs, so about an hour in the morning and the same in the evening. You must definately eat before you take them that does help and I take my evening tab quite early so that the nausea has gone by the time I go to bed. This week I had started halving my dosage. I cut the tablet in half in the morning and do the same in the evening. I would personally not recommend you half the dose so early on. You need to have the maximum effect of the tablets in the beginning.But speak to your doctor. Perhaps you can try other things, drinking sparkling water helps a bit, ginger biscuits etc. I almost gave up on the tablets in the beginning because was feeling so rotten, but just kept telling myself that it is such a short time of your life to feel rotten for such a HUGE reward. Keep positive and keep going. It is sooo worth it. I never thought I would say 37 days smoke free. Its awesome. Lots of love and luck

Hello Converse!

I am myself on Day 8 - first day on the blue pills 1mg... so far i'm "ok"... nothing major to report... i was just wondering if you were still smoking or if you reached your quit day or not yet...

I'm trying to read about other's experience and be ready for my quitday this coming sunday :)

Hi HR, my quit date is tomorrow, but I have started today..... the last four days I have smoked three smokes and never finish them , they make the nausea worse, and tea starts it off aswell. It is no harm because they both were a huge addiction for me , I used to go through 20 cups a day and 30 smokes if I am honest. As a result my I drink four cups now anymore I feel sick. I am sleeping better too, and feel alot calmer...think all that caffine and nicotine in my body made me more anxious. I feel positive and calmer now, I have given myself a break, that is how I see it now. so today is day one properly off smokes and day 11 of Champix.... you will be ready for the quit date, I was sceptical but it will just happen naturally.

so my journey so far is

Thanks a lot Converse for the feedback... Actually it helps a lot!!! I am now more confident about my quit date...Me the same; I slept very well! As if smoking less with champix has started calming me down too.

Bravo again and hopefully me too i will join you soon in the smoke free group :)
