Champix

After my weird reaction on Day2 of Champix, decided to take half the pill as a morning dose & the other half around midday.  Seems to have worked as the disconcerting side effects haven't returned, & am able to drastically cut back on smoking eg have had 2 smokes today (now 3pm). Today being Day4 & therefore my first 2pill day, intend to experiment with half a pill tonight, although I feel that I may not even need that. 

From what I can gather here, think I'm probably older (60's) & physically not firing on all cylinders so the blast of happy pills on Day 2 threw me into a "spin".  Any feedback on this theory wellcome.

I call Champix "happy pills" because this Quit experience is a so much easier than previous "cold turkey" attempts & therefore I'm happier.

Is this your first attempt at taking Champix?

First time with Champix, so far no nausea (now Day 6) & down to one smoke a day. Already feel so much better (no wheezing or coughing), & just hope that this is the cure.

How are you going with Champix now, after giving it some time?
