King, it's called Chantix in the U.S. and Champix in Canada and the UK. It has caused vivid night terrors, depression, suicidal thoughts and violent behavior in a number of people who have used it. The FDA justifies it's approval on the grounds that only a small number of users are affected in these ways, but I have heard that the number is not as small as the FDA states.

Patches do work i used 354 to stick myself to the floor so i couldnt go and get any fags

I used Champix for about 3 months, my only real serious attempt at giving up, they worked in as much that I didn't smoke anything for all of two days.

My head felt as if it was made of cotton wool whilst I took them. . . most peculiar detached feeling it was, plus nausea and actually being sick - that was the worst part, the sickness.

Then my hands got bored . . . . patches never stayed stuck to me, hopeless things.

I stuck 6 patches on myself one day and within an hour of starting work I wanted a fag.

I've also tried Lozenges (YEEEEUK), Nicorette Inhaler (chewed it to bits) and Herbal Cigarettes ( don't smoke these near other people as they really do smell quite unpleasant).

It wasn't till I went for Hypnotherapy that I was made to realise that half the battle of stopping smoking is dependant on you wanting to stop. As my Hypnotherapist said to me.....

"there isn't a Hypnotherapist in the world that can help you stop if you don't want to yourself, it's not enough just needing to stop, even if for health reasons, youv'e really got to want to"

As I didn't really want to stop because I have always enjoyed smoking nothing was gonna work............. Thank heavens for the e-cig.
