Champix day 2
Today, i m on day 2 of Champix. I think i start feeling something. I am not feeling sick.I just feel like I am not having cravings anymore. I still smoke but much less than usually . I think i smoke out of habits or being bored more than the nicotine' cravings.
Yesterday, i took the first pill in the morning and i only have about 4 cigarettes during the day(Usually 17 to 20 per day). i just didnt think about smoking too much. But at night, when i got home, i felt like smoking more maybe the effect of the drug stopped.
i really want to stop smoking!! so Good luck every one and i ll keep you posted!
Stick with it & stay positive. Keep taking the Champix because I am certain they actually work! I took the Champix as directed for a full 14 days without changing anything I did. The recommendation was to stop smoking somewhere in the 2nd week so after 14 days I stopped smoking but have kept taking the Champix. Today is 60 days without a cigarette for me & I am super confident I am now a non-smoker & will never have another cigarette. I am still taking Champix (nearly half way through the 3rd month). I never want to smoke ever again so I am definitely going to take the full course, including the 3rd script, because from the reseach I've done it seems extremely unlikely that people who take that full course ever smoke again. I'm done with smoking & want to be smoke-free for the rest of my life.
Good luck & give the Champix a real go - they have been my saviour. If I can get this far then so can you & believe me, you will gain a bit more confidence every day without a smoke that you can do it......& you will!
Hi Gaelli, you will do it. Champix are a very good, it is early days too, but stick with it. Eventually you will smoke nothing. I stopped after two weeks while on the champix, I just could not bare to smoke again... no looking back.
Hi Gaelle, today is day 7 of champix and up until this morning nothing was different. Then my first ciggie today took me an hour to smoke along with 3 cuppas. Usually it's 2 ciggies to 1 cuppa. The only thing that I'm finding is that I want to sleep an awful lot. Tomorrow is the start of the next strength of the tabs but I'm determined to do it even though I'm still smoking (but not as much) at this stage.
Thanks for your comments. To be honest, when I started I was a bit against joining an online blog. I thought i did not need it. Today, I'm so glad I did.
I am around non-smokers so none of my support understand what I think. For example, yesterday day 4 of champix, I only smoked 5 cigarettes. I was so proud of myself , I think it's already an amazing achievements. So I told my partner and he told me I should try harder because he thought I wanted to quit smoking. After that, I really wanted to have a cigarette.
On another note, today, is day 5, I woke up took my coffee and went outside. I started my cigarette but realized after 5 min that I didn't smoke it at all. So I lighted another one, had a puff and couldn't even feel the smoke. So I put it down. I'm getting there I think.
Good luck to all of you.
