My Champix Journey - the day before Day 1

So, my Champix Journey begins tomorrow. Day 1 - D-Day.

I'm on the road to quitting smoking and I've been prescribed my dose of Champix by the smoking cessation guy at the surgery. "Any signs of depression or suicidal tendencies?", he asked.

"Errmm, I don't think so", I replied. What sort of answer is that? I think I'd know if I've tried to end things, wouldn't I?

So I've been given 2 weeks worth of medication. I'd read some pretty nasty stuff about Champix, so I thought I'd get stuck in with reading the warning leaflet. I didn't think I'd be reading it for the next 2 weeks with the size of the leaflet. It's like reading a copy of The Times, but a lot scarier.


So, am I going to change into a werewolf? Or a mad woman? Or dwell in the bowels of gloom .... I guess time will tell.
