Re: Champix Tablets and quitting smoking?

Cheers, guys
I live in Toronto, Can.,(heck, who cares, I could be living in Tumba Umba) and my doctor prescribed Champix to try to stop smoking. I went to netdoctor.co.uk/medicines and found information about these tablets. Anyone had any success using Champix since the pills were invented in England . Please share if you experienced any negative effects that might occur (they all listed on the site). Do you personally stop smoking? Spacibo. Thanks in advance.

Free thinker
I hope that your husband is feeling o'key.

My mum has had success with them............
She took them for 2 weeks but on the third week she became very nauseous and she chose to stop taking them but she still hasn't smoked and thats been 4 months now.
She felt sick because the strength of her tablets were increased so if it happens to you you have the choice to go back down to the lesser strength.
They are worth a try. Good Luck xxx

I used them over a yr ago . . . for 6 weeks I did not smoke nor did I want one but my hubby went in hospital with heart . . . I got stressed & went back to smoking . This past January I tried the Chantix again . . . this time they made me so sick . . . I even cut the pills in half and took one with food . . waited 2 hours then took the other half . . . so sick & stomach cramps bad also my blood pressure started getting really high 192/136 . I had to quit taking them . . . I have 4 boxes of them still unopened and darn they were expensive. Needless to say I am still smoking but my doctor has told me to try the ear magnets, he says they work like accu puncture & to get them on E-bay for $6 where as off the tv they are $30 . . . he says he has 1 patient who has had laser surgery done & he is doing great so I may look that direction if magnet doesn't work . . .of course I have to use the magnet for it to work

Yes, they work. One problem is that you have to take them with food. Normally, if I have breakfast, it's usually some fruit or a snack cake and a cup of coffee. That's not enough to stop the upset stomach caused by the Chantix. What I found to be helpful was to take the pill during the meal.

The dreams were incredibly vivid, like nothing else I've ever experienced. But that's not necessarily a negative side effect.

Champix is Chantix in the US. It was invented by Pfiizer in the US. This drug has now been implicated in 39 suicides. It also can cause heart failure, suicidal tendencies, depression and diabetes. It won't be long before this dangerous drug is taken off the market.

They are called Chantix, and I have heard people have had great success with them. However, I also heard of a class action suit against them. They supposedly cause seizures in some people.
I have a bottle, but I'm afraid to take them... I'm waiting on more people to try them...lol
