Niquitin CQ Lozenges - Have helped me!

Advantages: Helps you to quit smoking! I found it helped with food cravings
Disadvantages: Funny taste to begin with

I was recommended these by my GP when visiting their 'stop smoking' clinic. I found the lozenges very useful and help with any cravings. They come in 4mg for heavier smokers and 2mg for the milder smoker. The flavours are either plain (taste a bit sweet) or mint flavour (Minty!). You are meant to place one between your cheek and gums and alternate between each side of the mouth, they slowly dissolve in about 30 mins or so. The great thing I found ...
...as you cannot eat or drink when you have one in your mouth. The taste takes a short while to get used to (a bit spicey maybe?) but not long. You start with 1 lozenge every 1 - 2 hours then gradually reduce the amount you have over a period of time (The pack comes with instructions). Overall I found this to be a good product and have given up for nearly 2 months!! ...

Giving up smoking - Success

Advantages: They work - really feel like having a smoke
Disadvantages: At first they have a burney feeling

.I gave up smoking in October 2006, the reason behind this was I just simply could not afford them anymore. Here in Ireland 1 pack of 20 costs 7.45 , so I was spending 52.15 a week and even more scarily I was spending 208.60 a month. My partner smoked aswell so we were spending double that amount on something that would damage our health and in the long run would probably kill us. I had previously tried a few nicotine replacement products most recently ...
...like them. They didnt take the edge off the craving and they were quite big. They had a minty flavour and I didnt like the texture of them. Then I tried the patch - this was a horrible experience and i felt so sick. Even after I took it off it took 2 hours for my tummy to get back to normal. The microtabs come in only 1 strength 2mg. They cost 10 euro for a pack of 30 and 27.99 euro for a pack of 150. The pack of 150 is much better value. And as ...

Review of Nicorette Microtab Nicotine Sublingual Tablets

You can do it, really, but Zyban helps

Advantages: I stopped smoking
Disadvantages: Side effects to be aware of

I decided to give Zyban a try even though it was my first attempt to stop smoking. It felt like a serious choice and with a friend coming to stay who had stopped too, it seemed also a good chance to gain some excellent support. The doctor agreed the case was good to use Zyban and prescribed me a month's worth with the advice to: - Set a stop date about 10 days after beginning the prescription - Start a week on one 150mg tablet and if the compunction ...
...8 hours apart - Combine the medication with the Glaxo support website So before I describe my experience I will just give some background info on Zyban. It is prescribed in the US as an anti-depressant (Wellbutrin) though it is not licensed to prescribe it here for anything other than as a smoking cessation aid. It works similarly to an SSRI like Prozac but it is classified differently. At the prescribed dosage for smoking cessation, one of the ...

Review of Nicobrevin Nicotene Free Capsule Course

Side Effects of Champix???

Advantages: Stops you smoking without replacing the nicotine with nicotine
Disadvantages: A few side effects to be aware of.

This is the second attempt I have made to stop smoking using Champix. The first time I never finished the 3 month course as I thought I had conquered the nicotine demons. Unfortunately after 4 months of being stopped I found myself back on the fags so this is the first tip I can strongly give you. FINISH THE COURSE- even if you think you have beaten the craven for a puff- you probably have not. This is the whole reason the course is conducted over ...
...were pretty much what is said in the leaflet for the 1 in 100 - drowsiness and slight nausea. But if I had read the leaflet further I would have discovered i was more unique than first thought- I could not stop passing wind( my girlfriend says the smell of cigarettes was better but i think she's pulling my leg). I have also had indegestion which i only recently discovered is a side effect. On the whole though I have stopped smoking(only slipped ...
