Rob’s Experience
I was coming to end of my tobacco i had bought from holiday months before and said that would be the end of my smoking. A friend of mine offered me the last packet of champix he had left when he was on them. I hadnt heard of champix ever before and as i could smoke whilst on them it seemed like a good idea to try them and not have to give up immediately.
I was on them for 3/4 days and took 2 cans of lager when everything started to change…i started texting unusual aggresive texts to my girlfriend and her mother, i was having complete blanks in my day, my concentration vanished, i was in some sort of bubble state…completely unaware of stuff i was doing, memory losses were unreal, i couldnt seem to remember the smallest things… i would start crying uncontrollably in the middle of doing something…i drove into town to buy some things and when i got towards town i just couldnt remember where i was going and what for…thankfully my mother was with me and reminded me…it was my mother who finally sussed out what was going on with me…one night i went to meet some friends for a couple of hours…i had one beer and 2 vodkas…my mother picked me up and she describes me as completely wasted and talking absolute nonsense…changing what i said every minute and being in a manic state…i recall very little of this incident and any others which include nearly crashing my van twice, smashing cups, plates, bowls…my co-ordination was terrible…the scary thing was i was completely detached from what was going on…i seemed to have no feelings left for anything either…i had slipped very quickly into a depressive mode and as the days went by and my long distance relationship ended through my behaviour i slid even faster into a whirlwind depression…my dreams were absolutely nuts…i was either killing someone or being killed or committing suicide…in the mornings my first thoughts were how to kill myself and how many tablets i would need to do the job properly!
I am very normal person, pleasant, well mannered, brought up well kinda guy…i am not aggresive and live life with that extra smile…this drug in my opinion should be removed from market immediately!!!
I friend of mines brother has just been on champix, vallium and is a heavy drinker with a history of depression…his doctor prescribed this combination! can you believe that…? he has been acting extremely weird and i fear for him bigtime…what are doctors doing? this is a bloody disgrace and i think before not too long there will be an uncovering of the truth of this awful drug and its potential dangers…the death toll will be rising as we speak and god only knows how many suicides and deaths there have been that havent yet been traced back to champix.
DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG WHATSOEVER!
