Champix withdrawl

Posted in Hints and tips
schedule 4 Dec 2014

Hello

I am 2 and a half months smoke free, and I am a week off champix after taking it for 12 weeks. I had side effects from champix the whole 3 months of taking them, but decided to "bare with it"  and now this :( 

I am feeling terrible, I am extremely irritable and depressed, Im feeling great one minute and very angry the next. I dont feel like smoking at all, I just feel so angry .  I'm glad I am not smoking of course but how long am I going to feel like this ? I would be grateful for any help and advice.

Has anyone had this experience ? how long will it last ?

I feel like I am going mad :(

UPDATE : 05/12/2014 

Got up this morning , was still a bit "under the weather" by afternoon I was feeling a lot better, and as I sit here typing this tonight I can safely say I am not craving a ciggy and all the symptoms of depression, anger, dispair ect, have lifted and I feel 95% back to normal and smoke free 85 days :D

These symtoms lasted about 10 days after i quit the champix , just so others are aware.

Thanks for reading, good luck to you all xx
