Emma_lou1988 Â Â 10 #8942 Posted September 25, 2012 I'm on week 4 of Champix and so far i've manage to go from 20 plus a day to just having one cig on a saturday and sunday so not quite there yet! But for the past week or so everytime i have a cup of tea it makes me sick! Did anybody else have any side effects like this on the Champix?

focusedhypno   10 #8943 Posted September 26, 2012 Sorry to drag this old thread up but does anybody know of a good Hypnotherapist to help quit smoking? Obviously, names/numbers required.  Thanks  Hi Kurgan (love your name BTW, Highlander is one of my favourite films ever!)  I was wondering how you go on looking into quitting smoking through hypnotherapy. Sorry I didn't get in touch sooner but I only just noticed your post. I would obviously recommend myself if you wanted to stop smoking but I am biased! I do have a guide available to download on my website though that is called "10 Things You MUST know Before Getting Hypnotherapy" and it is designed to help you find a reputable hypnotherapist. It is full of tips and ideas of what to look for and what to ask of whoever you are considering working with. If you did find a hypnotherapist how did it go?

MINNA Â Â 10 #8946 Posted October 5, 2012 Hey there peeps, Â I just joined this thread and totally by accident. I was trying to find out whether I can take Champix while on Seroxat and stumbled on some pretty interesting chats on your thread. Â First off, let me introduce myself. I am an American living in Greece for the past 15 years. I am a smoker and I used to be a heavy drinker. Depression is my middle name. It wouldn't be wise for me to stay off of them, not just yet anyway. I do drink on a daily basis, but no hard liquor, a glass of wine or two. Â Since some of you old members here, are the most qualified on this issue, please advise me whether I can take Champix while on Seroxat. Â I do appreciate any kind of advice, suggestions.. Â Thank you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lyn. Â Â 10 #8947 Posted October 7, 2012 Minna - in UK we can only get Champix on prescription due to the fact it is a seriously heavy duty drug than can mess with your brain. You've only got to read the side effects suffered by some on here to understand that. Not only would I not reccomend taking Chamoix with any other drug (I've no idea what Seroxat is/does tbh), I wouldn't take it without medical advice. Just my opinion of course - others may disagree.

larky   10 #8948 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Smoking like drinking to much is self inflicted and both are easy to stop  i smoked but only at weekends for say 2 yrs approx on way to pub id buy 20 cigarettes  and smoke the lot and then buy more, this was back in the 80s  I then decided i didnt really like the smell of smoke, and didnt enjoy smoking  and then stopped no probs, was offered in the pubs the odd cig but always declined  saying i stopped, and have not touched one since the late 80s  As for drinking and alcohol i always blamed my culture in such and would always get drunk at wkends as would like the many binge drink both spirits and beer and always drank a fair bit at wkends when out  Now recent times ive stayed in and not really a drinker in the house i did buy 24 cans of beer other week, as an offer was on at the store i shop at, and have only drank 2 cans over the whole wkend while in the house  Drinking is a slow killer and ive seen a number of young men die through such and another has Cirrhosis of the liver as i type and he wont get over that that i do know, and only in his 40s  to any younger guys than myself on this forum drink is ok i feel if done in moderation but try to stay away from spirits, as i think theyre worse for your insides  As for the topic smoking and patches and such well i feel you can stop only if you want too, and there are no excuses its easy -- Just --> "STOP" Edited October 7, 2012 by larky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bladesufc1   10 #8950 Posted October 9, 2012 the Electric Sky Cig is a very good replacement. it still Delivers the nicotine, and your still smoking but with NO NASTY STUFF inside. Nicotine is not dangerous at all. just addictive  been on it for 1 month now and just not interested in a proper cig at all.

Lyn. Â Â 10 #8951 Posted October 9, 2012 If it was only the nicotine that I was worried about I would probably still be smoking. For me it was all the other cr@p that gets put into cigarettes that bothered me. Keep it up everyone xxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
