You are supposed to take 1 pill/day for days 1,2&3; take 2/day for days 4,5,6&7; then decide one day between days 8-14 to stop smoking; all the while taking two pills a day for days 8-(total of 3 months). It's worked for everyone I have seen take it.. and I'm on it now

In response to the site admin comment... This drug is called Chantix in the US but it is Champex in the UK. Worked VERY well for my father-in-law. Now trying to get my Dad to try it...

After smoking for more then 41 years I smoked my last cigarette on 6/22/09. The Chantix worked like a charm for me. My doc. said to not set a quit date, just take the pill and see what happens. The day I realized that I had been carrying a half pack of smokes for two days without smoking, I threw the rest away. Really suggest trying.

I am just about to start on a course of Champex, I would love to know if you managed to stay off the cigarettes permanently? Like you I have been smoking for a lot of years (51 years actually) Your post has encouraged me to have a go, so please tell me if you started again.

I have just been reading about Champex - apparently it can cause suicidal thoughts and depression. I am currently taking it - and was wondering what is wrong with me. I actually feel a lot less depressed than usual. I am practically an alcoholic normally and I am wondering if its turned off the alcoholic receptors in my brain as well as a number of other negative factors. I have not even been thinking of cigarettes and I have been taking the tabs now for three weeks. I seem to be experiencing no nicotene withdrawals and I have been a hardcore smoker since the age of 15 - I'm now approaching 40 years. I've tried to give up loads of times and failed. Usually my head is very fuzzy without my nicotene - but not this time - I recommend CHAMPEX

This pill should only be taken with weekly visits to your doctor for monitoring. I had a horrible summer with my husband who turned into a monstor until he discontinued use of Champex.

Hello fellow nicotine victims. I'm on my second week of chantix. Yesterday was the first day I managed to smoke only four cigs and today I have smoked probably 4. Smoking was in my head but instead of smoking I grabbed a piece of gum and came on here. I have to say that it is working for me however u have to help yourself too.I am having the crazy dreams and mild headaches but not bad enough for me to stop. Im sick of smoking.

My wife and I picked up our prescription from the doctors today for Champex. Worried about the side effects. Any normal side effects that we should be concerned about? Heard about the sleeplessness and mood changes. Is that normal?

I stop smoking within 2 days of the pill and two weeks later going good, but my attitude became very negative and sarcastic, i stopped pill and seem to be going back to normal and still not smoking. I think you just have to be motivated but the pill did give me a push.

Can Champex cause leg cramps? I am getting terrible cramps in both of my legs and feel that I'm going to collapse, but after 15 minutes I'm fine.

A friend just died from a heart attack which was a result of permanent heart damage caused by this medication. Get your doctor to look up ALL of the side effects not just the common ones!!!

I use Chantix before and it worked. months later I stupidly started again and now would like to use it again but I cannot get it covered because champex only support you quittin smoking once in your lifetime. if you try to quit again it will not give you a discount and you have to pay full price. does anyone have any information on this or how to get around and be able to get a discount on the product?

Ok, so I decided to try the Champix, even though I am clinically depressed, etc,. (as I mentioned in my last post). So I am on my 4th month with the Champix. What I liked was that I could smoke like normal and see what happens. What happened was somewhere, I quit smoking without even realizing it. I just forgot to smoke! By not setting a date, the pressure was off and no side effects. My husband was so impressed he asked his doctor for Champix, but came home with Zyban. He does not like it but is willing to keep on. So disappointed his doctor did not recommend Champix. He already is experiencing some awful sleep side effects. The story continues....more in a few months.

No it isn't supposed to make cigarettes taste bad. The whole idea is that after the 8th day at latest that you have completely stopped smoking altogether. That means not even one smoke per day or week or month. No smoking. Champex/Chantix or whatever it is called in your country is a neurological blocker for the nicotine receptor in your brain. It kills the craving for nicotine but not the habit you have formed.

I have smoked for 43 years, hard core...in the last year had 2 heart attacks, now own 3 stents in my heart. I am clinically depressed, have been for 10 years. I still smoke. I tried the patch, darn things just slide off me. I get nauseated on the gum. I want to quit, I want to live. I just can't stop smoking. I am sitting here with a prescription in my hand, all ready to try it. Then I started reading, now I don't know what to do. There are so many good points made for both sides. I really want to live, but already am on so much meds from everything else.....on the other hand...my doc is no dummy,....help?!

I am using Champex for 4 weeks now and haven't smoked a cigarette in 3 weeks. Didn't gain any weight and didn't get any real side effects. 1 or 2 wacky dreams, but that's about it. I still crave cigarettes but nothing I can't handle. Thank you Champex!!!!
