Side effects? I had them all lol !

I took Champix, starting early November. My doctor told me about the side effects and I had them all, all the time I was on Champix. Nausea, nightmares, depression. The nausea was so bad that I was going to bed early almost every night and felt exhausted every day. However I persisted with Champix for six weeks until I couldn't take the nausea any longer and stopped the tablets.  By that time I wasnt smoking. It's now been a month and I have no interest in cigarettes whatsoever.  I enjoy having more money. I also find that when I walk past a smoker and smell that stale cigarette smell that surrounds them, I'm so glad it isn't me.  I watched a medical program on COPD the other night and saw a woman who couldnt breathe without supplementary oxygen. The noise of her trying to breathe was horrifying. Lungs do not repair once they are damaged. Most of her lung tissue was already dead. Once the medics got her breathing again and out of emergency, the first thing she did was lit a cigarette. It made me sick and sad at the same time.  If you can tolerate Champix, I recommend it.
