3 months now...

Posted in Staying quit
schedule 4 Apr 2012

I have been smoke free for 3 months - not bad... Have now stopped taking Champix altogether after cutting down for the last couple of weeks, and I am a certifiable nut case. Lost the plot on Sunday, am teary at work (not good for the manager) and am thinking that it's all too hard. I'm not craving a cigarette, but I think this is worse... Anyone else have this problem once weaned off the champix?

schedule 4 Apr 2012

I only took champix for 4 weeks - during January this year and recently I've been put on antidepressants. In my case I don't think it's the champix - I've had a lot of trauma in my life since August last year and seems its catching up with me. Happy to call myself a non-smoker though - 94 days and no slip ups at all. Stay strong and don't use your mood as an excuse to start smoking again! Tempting I know but it won't be worth it. It'll just make you feel even worse and a failure. Stay strong, think positive thoughts, be grateful. :)
