thanks amo  yes this is week 3, its easier this time round, although i have had a couple, because after smoking for 40 years i miss them. see i told you i was stupid, as i havent craved once for a cig just the thought of never doing it again scares me, must be my comfort blanket in life. |

Couldn't do it today, she was too busy (a little boy had to be admitted to hospital ) But I have another appointment for tomorrow and she will see me just before then. The doctor said there is no reason why I cant have it so fingers crossed. Your doing really well by the way - keep it up ;D |

Ha finally managed to see the nurse today and she has given me a prescription for Champix. Apparently the prescription charge went up to £7.10 yesterday  Bloody hell! So anyway I am going to sort it out at the weekend and start taking it next week. She said it might make me feel sick (something to look forward to then!) but no one has actually thrown up from it I would rather feel sick than die of cancer so I wont let that put me off! Cant wait to start smelling nice for a change. All I have to do now is persuade someone else to stop and we've cracked it ;D |

Went and got my tablets this morning, going to start taking them tomorrow. Have got to pick a quit day now Do they make you feel sick Barbara? that seems to be the most common side effect. I hate feeling sick Looking forward to having some money in my purse for a change. Karl is going on the patches the day I stop (hmmmmmmmm !) and the money we save is going to my Lorry driving fund. So wish me luck ;D |

Our practice anti smoking nurse, who to be honest I'm not keen on, said I couldnt have them cos I take anti depressants (long story I wont bore you with, but I'm not a nut honest ) I'd love to come off them as well. Gave me patches and microtabs (YUCK) She's very much a no pain no gain type, but then she's never smoked. I really do want to stop, I want OH to stop as well but thats his choice. |

fine thanks kl, went bowling with friends who smoke last night, and it did'nt bother me , and i won, so all's well ;D MM leave it if you get depressed, i have heard they can make you depressed (champix tabs) we dont want you not well |

Post by prodigal gardener on Apr 8, 2008 17:26:17 GMT
Sorry too hear you suffer with depression MM, been there myself and its no fun. They wont let you have champix if you are still taking the happy pills I tried the microtabs a while ago and you are right yuk Patches arn't too bad if you have the will power and support. Any time you want to join us - feel free we will help as much as we can - its bloody hard, but we can do it |
