Champix a big help!!
Day two of quiting smoking! The smokes really on my mind but very little urge to smoke. The Champix has reaaly help with the feeling of needing a smoke - how ever they have caused me to sweat at night, wake up and not able to go back to sleep and I have silly dreams!! I have been keeping myself busy and so has my hubby that also has quit! Hubby a bit cranky and I think the kids are sick of him!!! It was great to smell nice all day and not hide and spray BO basher all over my body before I walked back into my office at work. I had cut back heaps when I started the first week on Champix and durring my cutting back I did do a day without smokes and watched my hubby smoke - I have never been able to do that. I have only not smoked for two day straight but already over two weeks my skin and hair looks so much better. Unreal in such small amount of time! This site is soooo great and keeps me wanting to quit!! So thank you everyone for sharing your stories!! xoxoxox
I am also using Champix, they have really helped but I stopped taking the night time tablet sometime in week 3 as I couldn't handle the sweating & weird dreams plus the lack of sleep. Not sure if its just me or not but I also have to make sure I take them with food. Its great how much better you are able to breathe & also agree with how much better not smoking makes your skin & hair. So many benefits in being a quitter!!
Good luck
I too quit using champix - easy to cut back and stop but dreadful,insomnia. As a result I only did 4 weeks of the course but I'm now 152 days (5 months). So is worth it. You can take sleeping tablets so go see your dr. Good luck, stay strong. xx
I wonder if that is what is causing me to visit this site at 2am when I can't sleep :)
This is my second quit, and I too am having dreadful insomnia. The first time I quit I went cold turkey, and didn't sleep for 3 weeks. This time I am using NRT patches, but still the insomnia. I think it is just the body's response to trying to be normal again, and maybe adjusting to all that extra oxygen :)
Glad it is working for you, I tried Champix and had no success at all. Champix made me so sick I had to stop using it.Sp this weekend I am starting my second attempt and hope to kick those cancer sticks once and for all with the help of patches and gum.
