The Champix work. Mind you, you do need a good support network around you because if you are in a social situation in the first week it is not easy, but it is not that hard either. I really didn’t have that must have desire for the cigs that I have had for the last 35 years!!! But Champix do have their side affects and I had some.
The nausea was pretty easy, I knew it was the tabs doing it so it was mind over matter. The downers were a bit harder. The instructions say they can be depressing. I think my friends were more right by saying to me you are just having a downer because of the meds and it’s ok. I let myself wallow a couple of times, hey there is nothing wrong with a good cry! Afterwards I got going and got on with my day just fine. It’s more just being aware of whats going on with you.
They worked for me. It’s been two weeks now, I have just converted to weeks from days and it feels so good. I have had a couple of cigs. I was sick and they were the only thing I could keep down, it was more of a comfort thing than a need. A friend gave me some advice in the first week. She said just because you might have one ciggie you are not a smoker again, it doesn’t mean you have to keep smoking. She was right, I have had a couple but they are not doing anything for me so there is no need for them.
I feel better already. I have noticed the difference in my skin already. I have been told it may take up to 18 months before I notice some physical changes for the better, but hey it can only get better from here.
