I really want to quit smoking.  I started taking Champix a week ago. As a heavy smoker about twenty-thirty a day. I have cut smoking down to about fifteen a day but I am very disappointed with myself. What should I do?

I'm a 39 year old, 20-40 (60 on a bad day) a day smoker for 20 years: First few days seemed to slow me down smoking which I liked. On day 5 my closest friend suddenly passed away at the age of 19 years old. I have continued taking Champix but also the fags too as my body has enough going on. They must be working as the day I got the news I only smoked 8 fags all day. My issue now is I am in week 6! I have been told I can take them for 24 weeks if really needed as my grief wasn't something I could avoid. The last few days I have started physically throwing up within 10 minutes of taking the pill. Should I quit them and start again when I am stronger or continue this awful misery?  I hate smoking but I hate throwing up too.

I took Champix about 6 years ago and had a bad reaction to them. Does anyone know if the same thing would happen this time or are reactions different each time?

I'm on day 8 today. I stopped on Saturday night and wanted one last night. I had one this morning and I have taken the stronger tablet, and feel nauseous. I have in my head that Saturday was too early and now, as I really wanted a cigarette yesterday that they aren't going to work for me. Is this true?

Do the side effects ever subside or do they continue throughout use? I'm experiencing extreme nausea and some fatigue. Other than that, works great for quitting.

They do eventually go. I took just one tablet and this really helped me with the sickness feeling. Will be 2 years this month for me..... Good luck

I am going to the doctor today to ask for these. I am reading good and bad reports and am a bit wary regarding the depression and nightmares you get with these. What are your experiences?

Amazing, I tried so many times to pack up smoking . They do make you feel a little sick, but ensure you eat before taking them. Didn't suffer with any other symptoms and have now been smoke free since 22nd august 2012, feel so much better and my breathing has improved 200%.

Hi I am a first time user of champix and after reading lots of reviews I am feeling disappointed in myself, most reviews state that by day 4/5/6 people have stopped smoking but I am on day 12 and still smoking 20 a day and no urge what's so ever to stop yet. I thought champix would help me stop after trying other methods. Is it worth carrying on when they are not having an affect after 12 days?

I've quit one time with the patch for 5 years. That was 10 years ago and, I started smoking again. Now, my aunt that used to smoke 2 packs a day, quit with Champix 5 months ago. It's been 4 weeks for me and I've cut like 10 cigs a day! Should I take Champix 3 times a day?

I took the first pack and then cut them in half for 2 weeks ,and then stopped all together because I was getting after effects dry mouth taste buds all over the place ,so I decided this would be the way for me ,that was 11 months ago and I still have not had a fag ,I think most of it is in the mind, habit ,I felt that I no longer needed the champix and went for it ,good luck what ever you decide

No. Champix is designed to help you quit smoking, not cut down and to be taken twice a day only. You should quit smoking within first two weeks. I strongly advise you to set quiting day within few days and continue taking Champix for 12 weeks. Trained smoking advisor.

Dont increase the dosage. More pills will not mske you smoke less. Rather get your head right also. STOP BUYING! And make the following your motto in life: NTAP. (Never Take Another Puff!). Champix is the best to stop smoking, but you must also trust it to work. As ling as you buy cigarettes, carrying it with you and take every possible opportunity to smoke, you are not giving Champix the fair chance it needs. Another tip I can provide: when you feel like smoking, drink a glass if water. This helped me also, as I never felt like smoking after having a glass of good healthy water. I am clean niw for three years and don't crave even a little bit. All the best with toyr efforts to give up smoking. Believe me, it is worth everything!

Has anyone tried to wean themselves off at the end of the course, and how did you do it? I am starting the third pack today, and don't want to stop dead at the end and risk any kickbacks due to the nature of the medicine. I thought I'd reduce to 1 a day first week. 1 every other day second week and then every 3, 4, 5, days the subsequent weeks. If anyone here is a doctor or GP I would welcome your advice.

My husband and I took Champix nearly 3 years ago. He'd smoked for over 30 years and I, just over 20 years. I'd never tried any medication before, just willpower. I didn't take the tablets for the full course as I felt nauseous taking them. I was nervous coming off them early, as I thought I'd want to smoke again. Anyway, I had my last cigarette on day 9 of taking these tablets and probably stopped the tablets after 8-9 weeks altogether. It's been nearly 3 years for my husband and I. We have never had any cravings since and can't believe how wonderful these tablets worked for us. I wish you all the best and hope it works for you too.
