Just seen this mentioned on another thread and it looks promising.

I suffered the most appalling stomach problems on Champix and I dont get on with vaping, so I want to give this a try.

I've been reading about that - Cytisine - it does look promising. I don't know how it would compare with Champix, the article says it can cause nausea and vomiting.

It's not licenced in the UK so you'd have to buy it online.

I have ordered some, £22 with free delivery for a months supply, so I will let you know how I get on.

At £22 thats less than 3 packets of fags so I figured its got to be worth a shot!

Good luck and do let us know how you get on Flowers

Thanks Bogey I'll check it out.
I am desperate to stop after smoking 20+ a day for 30 years.
Have tried patches, gum, spray, inhilator,ecig, lozenges, cold turkey and hypnosis. I live in Cyprus and it doesn't help that cigs are fairly cheap and smokers are not vilified here.

I bought some Tabex onlin today so will you update!

Bogeyface · 11/05/2015 14:58

Sorry, only just started taking them! I had a couple of events on that would involve alcohol and that is my weak point so I wanted to give myself the best chance to quit.

They dont seem to be giving me nausea so far, and with Champix it would start with 15 minutes of taking a tablet, so fingers crossed!

How's it going for you two?

Effendi · 15/05/2015 17:49

I started then on 9th and smoked my last fag on 12th.
Zero side effects which is good and I downloaded the tabex app to my phone so I get reminder when to take a tablet.

I think they do take the edge off the cravings but for me willpower is still needed. This is my last chance after trying many, many times to stop.

Effendi · 03/06/2015 07:37

Day 23 of not smoking. Took my last Tabex this morning.
I think they do help, this quit has been longer and a bit easier than previous ones but as I said above, willpower still needed, for me anyway.
No side effects at all.

I do miss smoking but every day is better.

Allergictoironing · 03/06/2015 08:06

Ooh well done Effendi!

Remember that smoking addiction isn't just about the chemicals in the smoke but the hand to mouth habit, having something in your hands to fiddle with - that's possibly why you still need some willpower. Maybe carry something you can fiddle with, or take up something like knitting or crochet to keep the hands occupied?

Effendi · 12/06/2015 18:18

Day 32, still not smoking. Still miss the fags but most days are good ones now. I think (and hope) that I am over the worst of it.
I have put some weight on though as I'm always hungry. Not weighed myself yet, am a bit scared to!

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 12/06/2015 21:02

Well done Effendi! Sounds like you've cracked it. Worry about the weight later, one thing at a time Flowers

Effendi · 23/06/2015 06:19

6 weeks today.
Every day is better but I still miss it. Can't wait for the day I wake up and don't think about it.

Effendi · 18/08/2015 18:55

It's 99 days today.
I'm very proud of my achievement.
I still think about smoking but not as much as before. I wish it would stop all together. Waiting for the day.

Can anyone originally on this thread update if they have still stopped? I tried champix and it worked but I stupidly went back to the fags. I did have horrible dreams on it so reluctant to try again. I want to stop for good and these seems a reasonable price.

Worth trying?

pho3be · 16/01/2017 14:53

I used it 3 years ago - amazing . Never gone back

Stirling787 · 20/02/2020 17:24

I am a snuff user in Texas. If I'm not eating I normally have tabacco in my mouth. This has been going on for forty years. My circulatory system has become rigid. Because I must quit, I have tried everything. This product has successfully helped me twice. I am buying it yet again. It does ease the withdrawal.
