    Hmmm well my two pennorth for what it's worth, is that these people who went on to have suicidal tendencies were already having mental health problems before starting on Champix
    For the majority of people taking it (myself included) have found it to be a miracle drug with only a few unpleasant side effects which are bearable given the benefits of giving up cigarettes

    Was on this for a couple of weeks - terrible. Headaches, chucking up, dizziness. And it didn't really make me want to stop. And no it wasn't a hangover!

    My GP won't let you have Champix if you have previously had any documented form of psychiatric illness as it is known to lead to suicidal thoughts in this type of patient.

    So far I've come down from 20 a day to 3 a day, and am finding the need to have a smoke decreasing, no longer finding that I want to smoke.

    The downside has been the side effects - very bad, constant nausea, headaches, tiredness, insomnia and abnormal dreams. Some of the dreams have been very weird and some XXX rated (or is that just me??? ).

    No - not you. My dreams are normally weird. On champix, well, down right loony (hough some say my usual dreams are that anyway. A favorite, less bizarre one is being chased by daleks in my mum's old workplace, only to turn a corner and find myself, as though normal, sitting down at a desk reading some daft textbook, then waking up (in the dream) and then to wake up in reality.

    Some have involved bunnies with axes that have been chasing me around Asda. Others, if I could have filmed them, would make a fortune in the porn industry if they passed censorship......

    The worst of the side effects has to be the insomnia.

    It's worth questioning how many of these so called side effects that are being reported, are actually the effects of nicotine withdrawal ?

    Certainly insomnia, depression, bowel 'disruption" are all effects of withdrawing from nicotine ... Don't know about the dreams though.

    I'm on day 1 of taking Champix ... we'll see how things go !!!!

    I took it, absolutely no side effects apart from making it REALLY easy for me to give up smoking and the strange effect of me drinking less coffee, so go for it smirrors, if you notice anything then go back to your GP. Good Luck

    Good luck.

    But as regards the question of symptoms down to nicotine withdrawal, I have never experienced before when stopping smoking what I experienced with Champix.

    I think it's one of them- works for some but not for others.

    And I think a common problem with a lot of smoker is this:
    "I wish I didn't smoke - it's just the stopping that's the problem".
