side effects??

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 5 Oct 2018

I used the Champix starter pack and have been off it for about a month now. However; I've had terrible stomach issues since starting the medication and cannot think of any other reason why this is. I'm extremely bloated, have stomach pain, and am not going to the washroom properly (semi constipated yet very soft stool - sorry for the details) .... has anyone else experienced this?? Can the medication still be in my system? How do I fix this? I've tried everything but it does't get any better. I'm incredibly happy to be smoke free for 8 weeks, but I cant seem to digest food or fit into my clothes anymore :(

As far as I read these are common symptoms, but I am not sure if this is because of medication that you are using, you could check that. In general, I read many comments on this forum and there are people similar symptoms. I wish you all the best!

Go to your doctor or chemist and talk to them, but it could be your system adjusting to the lack of nicotine

congrats on 8 weeks smoke free what a wonderful achievement
