Help please. Stopped and started.
Hello
I am really looking for some advice on Champix. I cannot find anywhere to be able to ask a specific question about this method of quitting on any Champix site so thats why I am here.
I stopped smoking on Champix into my 3rd week and was 2 weeks smoke free when I got a tummy bug. I had to stop the Champix for 3 days. Unfortunatley I started smoking again. I only missed 3 days on Champix and I am still smoking now. Its nearly been 2 weeks since I stopped taking them very briefly. Does anyone know why this has happened? Does Champix stop working alltogether if you miss a few days?? I hope not as I was really happy with my progress.
I think you need to have will power as well. Without will power, there's no magic pill.
Thanks MickeyJ. I realise that as I successfully gave up. What I am trying to say is that, it took Champix 3 weeks to assist me in giving up to begin with. So when I missed 3 days does this mean its going to take another 3 weeks to work properly? I have sent this question to Champix as they may be the only ones who can tell me.
Stopping champix does not mean you are at risk of smoking. Get back on them and throw any cigarettes you have remaining out - way out of reach. Champix helps but you have to want to stop and be ready to stop.
Thankyou all for your positive comments. I have stopped smoking.
I think those of you that have quit with Champix will agree that it does help a great deal. I have smoked for 25 years and tried every method known to man. This is the only method that has worked for me so I do see it as a 'magic pill'.
I was really despondent when I started again after being unwell. My husband smokes and therefore the temptation is always there. Yes it takes willpower, but if you are taking Champix to quit and dont believe that the drug can work, then your willpower goes out the window.
Hi everyone, I'm new here, my inquiry is I'm on champix, was on my 3rd week but started feeling sick, even with taking it with food, so I stopped taking them, that was 3 weeks ago, but now I feel like I need to start up again but possibly only take 1 tablet a day, can I start up where I left of on the blue tablets same pkt or do I need to start all over again on the white ones?
