Smoker for 27 years.This is the third attempt at champex, the first was horrible, ended up having a colinoscpy as was bleeding for a month. Doc told me better to stop and start smoking again, lol, then another attempt after moving to Aus. This failed as i gave in to early with the nasea thing and ended up smoking again. I am now on day 19 detemined to stay the course have all the usual side effects, dreams, tired ect but will beat this this time. Good luck to all, lets stay alive.

Hi whiti, it sounds like the champix just doesn't agree with you? Have you thought about patches or gum instead, they helped me😊

Hi Whiti,

I tried on Champix too - couldn't stand the nausa - and wasn't 'ready' enough either so I started smoking again. This time round - today is day 71 and I did it with patches this time. But this time I WANT it - really want to give up for good.

Think about other NRT that may work for you - Champix (as Miss Lizzy points out) doesn't appear to be agreeing with you.

Good luck with your journey and post often :o)
