Day 3 champix

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 29 Sep 2017

So, today is day 3 on champix. I don't really notice any differences besides the cigarettes taste so weird. I know my motivation hasn't increased much since day 1, but i kept myself busy, which quite helpful. Today i don't really feel nausea or dizziness like yesterday, but i feel sooooo tired, i dont feel good about myself at all. Oh, and last night I felt really tired, really sleepy, def couldn't concentrate at all! When i got home? BAM! I couldn't sleep, it's like my mind suddenly can't stop thinking about work and etc. Hopefully today will be better 👌🏻

Most of the champix side effects wear off after a couple of weeks. I'm on week 4 of the Champix, second week without smoking and I don't even have side effects anymore. The first 2 weeks they made me feel pretty terrible, nausea, headaches, sleep disturbance. But now fine, most of it disappeared when I stopped smoking. Stick with it. Make sure you take them with food, and drink lots of water. I'm not sure how much of the side effects are actually caused by the medication or just the stress and effects of quitting generally and the combination of smoking and the medication. Part of the nausea for me was definitely learning how to eat breakfast! For more than 20 years my breakfast was coffee and a smoke, learning to eat food first thing in the morning didn't agree with my tummy till it got used to it. Keep going, you will be fine. Congratulations and good luck in quitting
