Champix

Hi to all - Just wanted to post some info on giving up smokes & some tips on using Champix If you want to give up cold turkey - its is awefully hard - I did it once & gave up for 6 years - but ended up with some depression there for a while shortly after - it took a terrible toll on me I ended up on some different types of anti depression pills at several stages - to me Champix is very much like them - the side effects are very similar I have been on the Champix for 4 weeks now - but the side effects were getting strong & I couldnt handle them - dreaming for hours on end - I remembered all the problems that I had with the anti depresssion pills - up & down all night - My dreams were that vivid that I punched my wife one night -  so I ignored the advice given by the doctors & reduced my intake to just one 1mg pill in the morning This has worked out to be great - I might dream for maybe an hour or two just before I get up in the morning & thats it - nothing else - I have no cravings & no desire to smoke at all & I feel great The other tips to help is to do little things to help One thing I found great was to focus on something important - mine was to be alive to give my daughter away when she got married & to see my grandchildren born - so I put a picture of her on the bathroom mirror The other is to reward yourself - no one else will do it - so put aside X amount of what you would have spent on smokes & do something for yourself or your family - I would take my wife out to dinner Above all - you have to program yourself to want to give up - you have to sit there & repeat constantly - This is disgusting - this is killing me - I hate smoking & every time you think about having one think bad thoughts You just cannot have one cigarette & be ok - it does not work - one ciggy will take you right back
