Stop Smoking Medication.? -
Hi, my doctor has but me on a stater pack of the stop smoking medication called Champix. Starting on one tablet a day at 0.5mg for 3days then 0.5mg twice a day and so on...Whats with the mad terrible side effects with this drug?? like for example the feeling of been total crazy/mad/insane/un-clear thinking/depression/weirdo dreams/I could go on and on??????
But the emotional feelings are these normal???If you are having these side effects you need to talk to your doctor. There are other ways to quite smoking that are more pleasant !!This is something you-ll rarely hear as advice, but I think it-ll work a lot better for you than any nicotine tablets/patches will, since in my opinion the hardest part of a nicotine addiction to get over is the mental side rather than the physical.
Buy a herbal smoking mix. You can find them in shops around the country and online, and they are usually offered as legal alternatives to cannabis, however some of them are very pleasant to smoke. The reason these are very useful for giving up cigarettes is that as a smoker, you feel the need to smoke something no matter what it is, so if you switch to smoking something non addictive, you can keep busy smoking while you get over the physical side of the nicotine addiction. Once most of your addiction to nicotine is gone (2-3 weeks of smoking herbal blends) you can just stop smoking the herbal blends, and as long as you chose a non addictive blend you will find no difficulty stopping, and your lungs will soon be well on their way to better health :)
Good luck!Be very, very careful taking pharmaceutical drugs for any reason. Ask your doctor about seeking alternative therapies and speak with an alternative health care provider. I quit smoking using an herbal tea I made myself using skullcap, lemon verbena, and a few other relaxing herbs. The dangers of using drugs are high, and if you consult with an herbalist or other holistic health practitioner, you will have no side effects. None.After getting off the Champix, if you-d rather try something more natural I suggest you take some organic whole-food supplements.
They are top of the line - highest levels of chlorophyll which cleanses the blood, more antioxidants than blueberries, more iron than spinach and higher beta-carotene than carrots.
Start giving the body something it can use and help it take care of itself. Take a look at the website below for information on different products - under the Products tab at top. Email me with any questions at hillmanC@ymail.com
Building a better you, one cell at a time.Ouch! I was on Champix, my dad is on them. The side effects are what made me stop using them. They are normal, and can last a while, but they will pass (at least so I was told by my Dr.).
I decline most things in tablet form. I decided to try hypnosis from home in the end, as it-s totally natural. It worked! As well as changing the way I think about smoking it changed the way I think about life.
Dr. Harris has written an article on it. Brilliant read if your interested in using hynosis at home- http://hubpages.com/hub/Hypnosis-Stop-SmokingI agree with the person above. Whats the point????
I-ve recently quit smoking and I used the Nicorette Inhilator and it worked a treat, and best of all no side effects....other than the odd slight craving. Best of luck what ever happens
....just had a brain alert.....are you on Champix because nothing else has worked? My doctor said he would only prescribe me it as a last resort, and didnt explain why.yes. Your body is loosing the nicoteen and I used NICOBREVAN Which not costs about ￡30/40 Pounds for 3 weeks tablets and one still smokes well into the 1st week. I never looked back I am off now 20 plus years.......but you will still think I need one!! but it is only your brain just saying that!....... I GOT THE TABLETS OVER THE COUNTER IN BOOTS.............HAVE a go good luck.crazy how they give you stuff worse than what you are on in the first place huh? doctors are dumbasses wrt pharmaceutical companies. just quit naturally and dont go mental.Chantix has some crazy side effects!! Ask your doctor about Zyban instead.
