Side effects of quitting ? (Page 1)

Champix has terrible side effects...

How long does it take to get that out of your system? That could be the reason you feel the way you do

I had quit before for 4 months with none of these side effects. It may be the champix, not sure. Reading on the net i have heard that it takes days to weeks to get the champix out of the body. Be nice to get a straight answer from a doctor. the only answer i get from doctors is take more pills, I think that may be the reason i feel this way in the first place.

yes i have gained weight, 18 lbs. exactly. slowly coming off now though i ve noticed.

i used half of my presecription with champix and had to stop taking the medication. I couldnt handle my relationship anymore due to the constant depression i was having. 2 weeks after i stopped taking the medication i felt 70% better for a short period but after awhile the depression bouts keep returning constantly. Sometimes i feel like im in neverland - my mind is constantly over analyzing everything now - i am constantly tired and irritable. i have been off the medication now for a month and a half and still have major depression bouts every other day. I do not suggest taking champix to anyone

I simply can't stop smoking. When I try I get a headache and feel like masturbating 1000 times a day!

Lol, I think there's no side effect on quitting a bad habit. So I'll go with what mr. jasonbeniuk said that it might be the champix effects. So, my advice is since you are already out of the smoking problem, better quit champix.

I think you need to deal with the reasons you were smoking in the first place. Studies have shown that many smokers are actually self-medicating. Depression, anxiety, there are a lot of things that a nicotine high can mask.

Hopefully it is the Champix and there is a short ride to get it out of your systems, otherwise I would definitely reccommend seeking help now.

I think if you quit long enough the withdrawl symptoms will go away. The craving lasts for a long time. I quit for three months and still had some craving and bad moods. However, I was feeling so much more healthier. My sense of smell became so much more acute without smoking.

Don't worry about this, Just you can buy one vaporizer. Its also like smoking cigarette. It is alternate for smoking. No side effects, Really good

I quit smoking 10 months ago, no medications, just quit. I became restless, irritable, angry, judgemental, depressed, anxious. After 3 months, I felt like a different person and actually considered going back to smoking just to feel like myself again. Frankly, I didn't like the person I had become. It's been another 7 months wih no improvement in my personality. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in 2 weeks and look forward to a treatment for depression or bipolar disorder. According to my psychologist nicotine often masks depression and bipolar; therefore, quitting smoking was just like going off anti-depressants. I wish I felt like I did when I smoked, mentally, and like I do now, physcially. I guess I can't have the best of both worlds without medication. (I'll take being smoke free for now).
By the way, it's called Chantix.

I have been on champix for a week having weird dreams where i am having homosexual sex, its unsettling as i consider myself straight well i think i am i have never had thoughts of men.

You are experiencing withdrawal symptoms...Withdrawal is the body's way of getting used to being a nonsmoker. Withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable, but they are not harmful. The most common symptoms include:Cravings,Irritability,Anxiety,Head ache,Fatigue,Hunger,Cough,Dizziness,Insomn ia,Depression,Difficulty Concentrating. Try using a quitting aid like nicotine patches, nicotine gum, and certain medications.

I also get depressed when I try to quit... That is why I still smoke...

I smoked 50 - 60 a day in the end and came off cigarettes with the help of Champix. Had only a few side effects for a day or two. Since I came off Champix, after three months, I have felt terrible - depressed and crying all the time. Have made a real fool of myself by being argumentative with others. I suffer from depression and took my usual anti-depressants while on Champix. No problems. Did my smoking mask some more of my depression which is now coming out or is this a side effect of coming off Champix ? I would really love to hear from someone else. If I could afford it, I would take up smoking again.

Thanks for sharing information about Side effects of quitting. This is the very bad for our health and body. I want to thanks jasonbeniuk and all the friends for sharing such a helpful information. The people should know about it and get the best decision after reading this.

For those struggling with withdrawal symptoms, try reading Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Quit Smoking". I never thought a book would help me quit and was very skeptical when I started reading it. Since then, I have had no withdrawal symptom, no cravings and most of all no doubts that I am done with smoking. Read with an open mind and the book will change the way you look at smoking and quitting, it was amazing.

Allen Carr's 'Easy Way' really works.

You can easily find torrents in MP3 format, so you can listen on your iPod, or in video format to watch on your PC.

Sure, it's illegal, but hey, Allen Carr is dead.
