If it wasnt for me investigating my husbands case, he would be still believing that he’s changed over night and that we’ve drifted apart and would be heading down the road to divorce and loosing everything that he’s worked hard for- he was even on the brink of quiting his job a few weeks ago!!. I printed out the many stories that i found over the web and got him to read them, and left him to take it in this week.

he told me tonight that he is going to move out temporarily to clear his mind, and we had a good positive talk about what he is going through. I told him that im worried for him an that i feel that he is experiencing depression, and that he should go see the GP that prescribed him the champix and take it from there- he’s agreed to that. He admitted to me that he could relate to the stories that he read. I asked him what physical things he was feeling besides, migrains, back pains, and depression. i asked him if he had any numbness in his feet or such and he told me that he has numbness in one of his hands. i asked him if he’s experienced a yuckky metalic taiste in his mouth and he was surprised and said yeah thats why ive been goinng to the denist in the last 2 weeks. hes been replacing his metallic fillings because he thought that was where the metallic taiste was coming from. hes never had a great memory but that seems to be even worse now- and ive told him to start keeping a journal so he can refer back to things if he needs to. He’s still having the horror dreams at least once a week.

Im hopefull that things will sort themselves out- i just hope it happens soon, and await the day that I see a smile back on my babys face!

this CHAMPIX is not worth taking, not unless you want to experience some major drama in your life!

is there an active support group for victims of this drug? If not maybe it would be a good idea to start one!

Could you please keep us posted about your husband’s progress, as others may need reassurance too? I sincerely hope you get your man back okay. Also please, please make sure the prescribing doctor reports this horrible reaction to the medical body that is supposed to protect the public from dangerous medications.

In fact, that should go for anyone who has had a bad reaction – tell the doc! Protect others, make sure it gets reported.

Will this go away? Im worried! I dont want to loose my husband!

But look at this:

“Highly recommended and possibly one day the book that will be regarded as the seminal tome for examining the smoking habit for what it really is.”

That is part of a review posted on Amazon.co.uk recently by a chap from Brisbane, and the book he is talking about is Nicotine: The Drug That Never Was. If you are interested in these matters why not go to Amazon.co.uk and read the rest of the reviews there. This is the first book ever to prove that the nicotine tale is a lie, and demonstrate that the urge to pick up a cigarette has nothing to do with the contents of the smoke at all. I also explain in the book exactly how we shut smoking habits down with hypnotherapy.

Nicotine Replacement Poisoning is based on a myth, and should never have been passed as a medication in the first place. There is no such thing as “therapeutic nicotine” – and I will prove it to the world.

By the way, I don’t mean to suggest that NRT is “just as good”. The fact is that they are equally bad in the long run, with Champix having a few horrifying extra drawbacks.

If you read the so-called “positive” reports for Champix, you will find that the majority of those people are either still taking the drug or have only just started taking it, and they are so excited to be not smoking at that time that they start recommending it to everybody. This is why Jennifer’s post is so important when it comes to looking at the bigger picture: “I thought Champix was great” she begins.

When you look at results at one year – which is, after all, a sober way of looking at it – neither NRT, Zyban or Champix has ever scored higher than 12%. Acupuncture seems to average out at about 25% for smoking cessation, long term. No risk. For results above 50% success at one year, only two methods have been shown in scientific trials to have achieved that: the Allen Carr method, and hypnotherapy. No risk.

.

since then I can say my mental state has returned to normal,
I only took the drug champix for 9 days but that was enough to almost send me over the edge mentally, feelings of anger, hatred, rage, depression, anxiety and panic attacks were pretty overwhelming and totally out f character for me and luckily I stopped when I did otherwise I don’t know what might have happened.

I can say that when I stopped taking the champix, I did get withdrawls from the drug for about 3 days after and I could not work, mainly feeling extremely anxious, panicky and edgy after I stopped taking it.

I wouldn’t reccommend champix to anyone except my worst enemies!

I have now stopped smoking for 12 days (01-01-09) by using nicotene patches and I’m feeling just fine, it’s a hard habit to break but not impossible.

Cheers.Ali.
