Thank you

Just a quick thank you for everyone's comments so far. I was aware of the reports of suicidal thoughts and depression that has been reported alongside taking the Champix Vareniciline - I did question this on my initial consultation with my doctor and she assured me that studies show that these side effects were found on patients that already had some kind of mental health issue.

She said that she deemed them to be perfectly safe after checking my medical history and are the most effective way that has been found to stop smoking so far.

I have watched the Allen Carr DVD and have to say that is was definitely inspiring and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to stop! I agree with the comments made below about how it makes you feel empowered by stopping rather than at a loss. My fiance is going it alone after watching that DVD and is doing well - although his cravings are very intense.

Thank you for all your comments folks. Keep them coming. Let's hope we can help more quitters to keep at it!
