Champax

[j34]

I have started this 4 days ago and I am smoking 4-5 smokes a day compared to 1 1/2 pk a day. Has anybody done this route??My quit date is on the 29 th and they say to keep taking them for 10 weeks it that necessary?

I used the U.S. equivelant, Chantix, and did great. It is suggested that you use it for 3 months but I used it for 6 weeks and was fine.
There is withdrawal when quitting the meds so prepare yourself. You need a support system and you need to reinforce your reasons for wanting to quit, especially when you feel weak and about to give in to a craving. It isn't easy, but it is certainly do-able.
I smoked for 38 yrs. and never thought I could or would quit. Chantix helped me and the articles at whyquitdotcom were what kept me "quit."

Good luck! We are here to support you.
