Champix

I started Champix 2 and a half weeks ago and had no side affects. I actually stopped smoking on Monday and I am now having dreams and feel a bit distressed. So its not the Champix that affects me its the nicotine withdrawals.
Quitline told me that the Champix gets the blame when its actually the withdrawals that cause the awful side affects and they were right.
I had more vivid nightmares on the nicotine patches.
Keep it up!! I am on week 7 of Champix.. had a few side effects but they passed... the dreams become less vivid after time... but still there! I find that i tend to sleep less but the great thing is i have been over 5 weeks smokefree! You can do it!!

champix made me very depressed. I didn't smoke but sat around like a stunned mullet. The Dr said they did not agree with me and to stop

I had no side effects on champix, it was amazing that after a week and a half smoking tasted like licking an ashtray. It helped me tremendously. Cheers.
