Champix is a miracle!

On my third day of Champix..and down to one cigg for the day so far. I would have been on my 4th already. Defiantly feel a little off and a little sick after my morning pill..but nothing I cant handle. But other than that i feel good! My appetite has totally decreased. Im most shocked about that. I thought i would be eating my way through this..super happy that Im not!

My quit day is December 1st but I defiantly think I will quit before that by the way things are looking.

Champix makes me feel like Im smoking when Im sick..and that's the worst feeling to me.

I dont believe these horror stories for a second. If you have the will power you can do it.

No I defiantly agree that Champix is doing this for me. I have had to use willpower but i would be nowhere as strong without the drug.

And that is the one thing im worried about how I feel once the drug is no longer in my system!! Keep your fringers crossed for me. Hopefully it wont be as bad as quitting smoking!

Well done. I have been smoke free for 18 months and also used Champix. Make sure you have something to eat before you take it. Some people dont have breakfast or just have coffee in the morning and then when they take the 1st Champix for the day, they feel sick. For some, they can still feel a bit sick, even when theyve eaten something, but not as bad. It doesnt have to be a big breakfast, just one banana or some toast will do. My husband recently started on Champix and complains about feeling sick and I know exactly why...because he doesnt eat anything for breakfast. He has learnt that just coffee doesnt cut it, so he still has it but after about half an hour, he'll have a banana and then the Champix.

Keep it up, it's so great to be free!

Stick with the champion, the nausea goes away after a couple of weeks. They do work, the smokes taste awful when the medication kicks in. You still need a bit of willpower the first week that you throw them away, but nothing like cold turkey, just keep busy, breath deep and have a glass of water 😊 you can do this, and it is so rewarding to feel your health improve and know that you can go out without the smokes, and the savings!

I totally agree! its been amazing...will power and keeping busy saved me. Its been almost two weeks and I hardly think of smoking!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!
