so proud! no smoking now for almost 2 weeks! it hasn't been easy that's for sure but nothing worthwhile ever is....  i stopped taking my champix last week even though i was still only on the first perscription because i had had enough of the vivid dreams every night and the lack of sleep. i was worried at first that i would smoke again but thought i would risk it as i felt strong enough not too, i wasnt going to go through all that crap again in a hurry. thankfully im sleeping better now and my willpower did the rest. champix made it possible and easier for me at the start to actually quit smoking but i definately couldnt of continued taking them for the full 12wks. apparently you are much better off to take the full dosage of champix as it then increases your chances of staying off the smokes but i felt very determined and knew i wouldnt put myself though all that again... i am a very happy non smoker!

well done and if you do get any cravings i used mini mint lozengers there great because just have one when you do have a craving and they seem to work well for me I have used champix in the past and stopped taking them cause they made me too sick. So any way congrats 2 wks what a great milestone
