December 17, 20169 yr I am shaking and I'm wondering if this can be a withdraw symptom or is it the champix? I smoked sometimes 45 to 50 cigs a day
December 17, 20169 yr It could be either Evelyn.. See if it settles ..if not ...a trip to your GP... Maybe someone who took champix will be along soon sweetheart... Try some deep breathing.. Or go on you tube ..play some relaxing music...just to see if it helps... Hoping it passes soon for you... Xx
December 17, 20169 yr Author The tension and shaking, even trouble speaking = withdraw... remember I smoked almosr 50 to 60 cigs in 24 hours so my body is kicking off big time. I do not crave cigs though
December 17, 20169 yr Have you stopped smoking now then? I thought you were taking the Champix..letting it do its magic...then quitting Christmas Day. Take care, deep breaths, and as Doreen says contact the doctor if you feel worried.
December 17, 20169 yr Author Yeah I quit today, 2 hours after I took the first champix... I do not crave cigs, just thoughts... I knew building up to 2 mg would yeapirdise the quit and my Christmas. So I quit today. I already hated smoking the last few days. I am committed. Just the physical withdrawal is shaking, muscle tension... Nothing I can't handle... Mentally I feel firm
December 17, 20169 yr Great...well keep that frame of mind and if you do feel a bit, you know craving, come and read what you posted her to recharge your fighting thoughts.
December 17, 20169 yr Sarge's money is on: neither. It's unrelated. Ask your Doc, not a bunch of strangers on the interwebs. Easy Peasy
December 17, 20169 yr Author I wanted to make sure it wasn't an interaction with my meds - which it isn't so I can use it. ;)
December 18, 20169 yr Hi Evelyn . Hope your doing well on the Champix. My suggestion would be to follow your drs orders. Any concerns, speak with your prescribing Dr or a pharmacist . I believe there is a starting dose followed by an increase in dosage to be taken for a number of months . Most common complaint I heard from other fellow quitters was a tummy upset easily taken care of by taking it with a meal . Be encouraged . I have heard very good results . I hope this helps you . _Abby
December 19, 20169 yr Author I have no tummy problems what so ever ;) and my intentions are to just use the 0,5 mg and then quit the champix. I'm strong enough in my quit and Champix is not a med you should use lightly. I only use it now to pull through the withdraws and then continue
