probrox Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I went to the doctors last night to get some of the new tablets you can use. pick the prescription up tomorrow. Tried a couple of timesbefore but I discovered I have no willpower at all. Anyone else tried the tablets? Called Champix I think. They reckon they've got a much higher success rate than patches, gum etc. Really hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well done chaps, proud of you. I've lapsed again after a decent go over Christmas, three weeks almost. No excuses, just weak willed...I also need to find something else to do for five minutes every hour or so at work. Oh, and theres a new rather nice girl started in personnel and shes a smoker. I admit freely to trying to synchronise our fag breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Could make things interesting lol. At least I'll have something to keep my hands occupied. Only joking. Good luck with it mate. If you can get through the first couple of months it starts to get easier. When I was smoking I couldn't even imagine being a non-smoker. Now it would seem weird picking up a fag.

Max Headroom Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I smoked for 23 years before finally giving up, not easy. For the first two weeks I went cold turkey and couldn't even function, then I got the patches and that helped a great deal. Its not easy giving up, the "hit" you get from nicotine works faster on your body than heroin. Even after all this time, I get the craving for just one cigarette, but know its the road to ruin On a downside, I have substituted chocolate for cigarettes and my weight has gone from 9 stone to f*t b*st*rd. Luckily I am still good looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Aren't they the ones that make men grow breasts? dont try em mate ( champix ) a guy at work is on these and from what i can see there not a nice experience, you have to be on them for like 2 weeks before you can quit,he`s been on them a month now and still smokes,and has massive mood swings,. also theres a growing list of suicides by people that have been prescribed this drug. Try patches,gum and the nicorrette inhalator . Warning over Champix suicide risk Published: 17 December 2007 12:18 Last Updated: 17 December 2007 12:34 Europe's drugs watchdog has issued a warning over suicidal ideations and attempts among patients taking stop-smoking medicine varenicline (Champix). The European Medicines Agency issued the warning after monitoring varenicline since it was licensed for use in the European Union in September last year. Its Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has analysed all adverse reactions to the drug. At its meeting this month, the CHMP decided to warn doctors that depression has been reported in patients who are trying to stop smoking using varenicline. Symptoms of this depression may include suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, the committee said. It requested that its manufacturer, Pfizer, revises product information accordingly to warn doctors and patients. A spokesperson added: 'The EMEA will continue to keep this issue and take appropriate actions if further concerns arise.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I tried, as I do annually on the 2nd of Jan, my theory being that when out on the p!$$ on NYE, you can't just stop, and on the 1st, you're hungover, and feeling like death (As I usually am after a good NYE ) so you only smoke a few, it's a help to a quick comedown... Then on the 2nd of Jan, back to work, everyone's doing their various resolutions, make a couple of mentions to your mates, as the constant hassling from people only winds you up... Every 2nd of Jan I've tried to give up, I've tried patches and so on but didn't feel any different with then than when I didn't... The only thing I think that worked when I managed to stop for 18 months (Jan 2 2001 - June 2002) was a supportive mate... And just thinking about "(Jan 2 2001 - June 2002)" was a shocking thought... As it's 2008... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
