Champix - 5th day without having a ciggie!

I'm so excited that I'm on my 5th day without having a ciggerette! My quit date was on 11 October 2014. I started using Champix back on 2 October and on the first week I couldn't sleep, felt sick and had really bad dreams when I did eventually fall asleep at 4am and then I had to get up for work at 6.45am.
I'm now on my first day on my 3rd week of champix and this morning I threw up (after I had the tablet with my breakfast). I have only been taking 1 tablet a day as the night tablets make me stay awake. So, I feel like it is working. I still have cravings but they only last a couple of minutes and I put my mind on something else. I hope tomorrow I don't throw up.

Hi Vinia, congratulations, you seem as though you are doing great. I smoked for over 25 yrs and gave up with Champix, to this day, I thank god for it, otherwise could still be smoking, I've just jumped on the web and have been smoke free for 900 days !!!!!! Yay, never ever ever going back, put up with the side effects, what's the alternative, cancer? Just take tablets with food, and at night, the weird dreams do settle down too... sorry if i'm being too bossy, its so worth it !
