Have You Tried Champix To Stop Smoking

[leahbee]

I have been a smoker for over fifty years and bought every product to stop including the two books by Alan Carr, then somebody told me about CHAMPIX which is only available from the GP. So I went to the doctors and he prescribed the tablets' and I was very surprised when he said 'start taking them but don't stop smoking'. He said my brain would tell me when to stop. I started taking them and after fourteen days of taking them, I got up and did not want a cigarette for the first time in years. You gradually reduce the dosage over twelve weeks. This was last July and I have never wanted a cigarette since. These tablets are a miracle.

A friend who had been trying to give up for years was prescribed them and he too used the word miracle. He's been off cigarettes for 18 months now.

Well done!
I too gave up 5 weeks ago after a horrible cough/coldy virus. I went 'cold turkey' and felt ok after the first few days of physical withdrawal. I am feeling so proud of myself :)

Champix can have some very nasty psychiatric side effects.

Well done mazzywoo. It's great feeling to be free is'nt it?

I know a couple of people who've used it and although it did help them quit it had horrible effects on them, mainly completely screwing them up in the head.

It's good for some but it's certainly not a quick fix miracle 'cure' for all.

I can only say that I had no side effects.

One of my friends used it and love it and the other took it had didn't appreciate the side effects, similar age group too.
