Thanks Reallymadwoman for your kind words & support. I'm so happy to hear you're not smoking any more. I'm still pushing on with the Champix & am still less inclined to smoke as much as usual. I am still smoking though & each day I think 'I'll stop tomorrow'' but I'm finding it hard to take the plunge! It's the demon of the nicotine, it's looking for any excuse to say 'see- you need me! You feel bad without me'. It all seems to be far easier when I'm very busy, I can take my mind off the cravings easier. I suppose I should just keep busy all the time!

I'm on week 6 of Champix. I get a slight feeling of nausea occasionally after taking one, other than that I've had no side effects that I've noticed. The problem is, I'm still smoking. I have reduced the amount and am not enjoying them as much as I used to so maybe it'll just take longer for me than most people. I was kinda hoping for a miracle cure though as I've tried pretty much everything else- patches, vape pen, gum, spray, Alan Carr' book, hypnotherapy and cold turkey. Might have to try this Zyban next if it doesn't work out with the Champix. I'm finding stopping smoking really hard.
