Stories and experiences by: FeelinGood

OK, so the headline maybe a little over the top. However I used Champix early in the year and whilst they were doing wonders with the not smoking, my mental state got to a stage where I would not go outside the house! Seriously. I have a beautiful labrador that loves it when I go outside and talk to him. I usually visit friends a couple of times a week. That stopped too. I didn't want to sociali...

I'm a 50year old male and basically smoked full time from the age of 13. I was allowed to smoke, so I did! I started Champix around Jan 12th and have been smoke free for 60 days now. The first month of the Champix was completed with the common side effects of nausea, vivid dreams and empty headiness. An added bonus (I guess) WAS the fact I didn't feel like drinking either. Half way throug...

Well I've started my 2nd course of Champix and have been smoke free for three weeks. I did however have a very slight slip up last Friday night after a bit of a session on the run and coke. I hadn't drank since starting the quit program and after a few drinks (maybe a lot) , I grabbed a smoke off my mate and said I'd light up for him. I did and I almost threw up! I couldn't get the taste out ...

I am fast approaching the 2 week mark smoke free. To date, using the Champix has been amazing. It still scares me a little that a drug can make me stop smoking. So far so good, I haven't had any of the bad side effects. I still get the occasional nausea feeling about 5 minutes after taking the tablet. It only lasts a few minutes and goes away. Just remember that you may feel a little detach...

I started taking Champix on January 12th 2015. By the 22nd I had completely stopped smoking.  The urges are zero to minimal since stopping.  It is only nine days since my last smoke. Previous attempts using patches, cold turkey etc have always been a huge struggle with withdrawals for the first couple of weeks.  I'm not even a raging psychopath this time around.  The side aff...

My reason to stop smoking this time was due to the fact that my breathing was getting so bad that it was a struggle to walk back up the 100metre driveway without a couple of pit stops to catch my breath.  After hearing many horror stories about people taking Champix, I still decided to give it a go. I started taking Champix on January 12th 2015. By the 22nd I had completely stopped smoking. ...
