get in there !!!!! actually i think the champix is making me too ill to smoke haha, wondering if the side effects wear off ? im experiencing sickness ( lots ) and extreme tiredness x

I tried to send you a hug, but you are private. I did not take Champix, but it has worked for many of the quitters on this board.

Hang in there you are doing OK.

Ariadn,
Hi ..I quit by using Chantix and did experience some nausea but not that bad. If you are feeling strong with the quit, you may cut the dose in half...see if that helps..but DON'T jeopardize your quit.My main side effect was bizarre dreams. It worked for me. Between Chantix and this wonderful family of quittrs, I have almost 2 years smoke free...you can do it too.
Hugs for success,Mayberry

well done on the quit you are awesome. I used he nic patch but others here used Chantix so they will be able to help you with that. The first few weeks are tough and feeling sick is common. Hang in there it gets easier and your lungs and heart will love you for it
