That's it. I'm in.
and, hoptis, still off the smokes?
Well worth it. I have 3 other mates that quit with it as well
For the sake of $60 (not even a weeks worth of smokes) whilst its subsidised by the government, you'd be crazy not to give it a go.
Without the current government subsidy the cost of Champix is in the hundreds.

^Basically your doctor must talk to you about counseling. You either take it or leave it.
You can have up to 12 sessions for free, and then a reassessment.
Do they help? Yes.
Bloody good set up if you ask me. Australia is a great country.
this discussion really points out the holistic approach that you have to take after a long period of skohing or indeed any drug use. By itself medication is helpful but not as affective as when combined with counselling as well.
I think it pays to be mindful of when youre smoking /substance use got worse and if it is stress look at skilling up youre coping mechanisms, rather than fall into aold habits.
I started champix about four weeks ago to assist me to give up pack a day and it seems to be working, i ve had only a few smokes in the last few weeks. I am getting a fair amount f queasyness for about half an hour after i take it but have found that eating soon after has helped.
Also i have found some cognitive and mood differences in since starting........ Always remember after a main effect is a side effect. By my estimation better to give my bady a chance to recover now with some queasiness rather than risk cancer later
Just as an update, I didn't end up using Champix, although a friend of mine did and swears by it.
For me, it was two 70mg lines of MDPV three hours apart and an epic night of enlightenment and self realisation (while smoking like a chimney), followed by an equally epic comedown the next day. I decided on the night that I would stop smoking the next morning. Cold Turkey. I haven't had a smoke since, no cravings, no desires, nothing at all.
