Day 7....
Hello. I started taking Champix seven days ago to help quit smoking. So far so good, the last two days I have felt irritable & have had headaches but each go away fairly quickly.
I have noticed cigarettes are tasting disgusting and have also noticed that I can actually taste food!!
I have felt a bit strange sometimes during the day, light headed and dizzy as well as nausea at times.
My quit day is Sunday hoping I stop before then, good luck everyone.
Hi Newychick. I am on my second lot of Champix i.e. the 4th month. I am taking them for the full 6 months. I picked a quit day on the 2nd week of the program but didn't stop smoking til the 11th week. I did a cut down over a period of 4 weeks. None before 8am, then none before 11am and so on. By June 9 I wasn't having a smoke til 6pm and as usual I was having half at a time. By Sunday I was down to 2 smokes. On the Monday I smoked what I had left and at 3pm that day I quit. As you will read in the Champix leaflet there are 3 ways to quit and I did the 3rd one. I let the Champix quit for me so there was no pressure. Always take your tablet half way through your meal and you should not have the nausea. Good luck.
Hi I chose day 14 but stopped on day 28 of the 1st packet I’m now 11 days smoke free. You’ll know when your ready and I’m so surprised at how well the champix worked!
