I smoked since I was in my 20's. I tried everything to stop but nothing worked. I tried Chantix and was amazed at the change in my urge to smoke. After 2 weeks, I was able to stop smoking because the urges had been diminished to a slight level, enough to keep me from lighting up!

One week in to quitting smoking and it’s been much easier than previous attempts. I don’t have the nicotine cravings, and I’m also practicing deep breathing throughout the day to deal with stress. I started the second week taking both pills but it made me nauseous. I’m only a 3 cigarettes/day smoker so I cut down to one pill a day and have been doing just fine.

I have to go through a few specialty doctors before I can see a psychiatrist to help me deal with this with possibly more medication of some sort. For the people it worked for-fantastic! I had high hopes. I would use with caution. Psychiatric side effects can last months after stopping Chantix. Iâ??m in bad shape and smoking again.

I just finished the first 28-day course. It didn't do a thing for me except upset my stomach greatly. The frequency of my smoking and my cravings haven't diminished one bit.

Recently I tried to just stop smoking completely while taking Chantix. I was a wreck and didn't last a day. The nausea caused by this stuff is intense. A couple of times I took the 1mg tablets without food. I dry-heaved all day. Even taking with food and drink, my stomach gets upset. I haven't decided if I'll get a second subscription. I probably won't.
