Having smoked for about 15 years I decided to try quitting. I had tried before using patches but these didnt work. So I decided to do it properly this time and go to the doctors. I asked about Champix and was very suprised they prescribed it. At this moment not many surgeries are prescribing it as the Health Trust still think its too expensive to prescribe on the NHS.
Still, I was allowed some and started the course. There are known side effects (read the packet!) and I was really hoping I wouldnt have any. But I did. After taking the tablet (even the lower dose you take at the beginning) I felt very nauseous. It got worse when the dosage increased, but this didnt put me off as I felt this was a small price to pay if it worked.
Within a few days of taking the tablet I found I was smoking less and when I did smoke I wasnt enjoying it. This is exactly what the claims are, and by day 10 (my quit day) I found that I was more than ready.
I have to say that during the 12 week course, there have been hard days but using the very little willpower I possess, I got through it. I have now finished the course and although I still dont feel like a non smoker, I am determined not to go back to being a smoker. Even though things have happened in my life where I could easily reach for a ciggie, I wont. I dont need them.
So, therefore I would definately recommend them!
