I have nightmares and feel pressure in back of my head sometimes. It helps you to stop but has side effects. Wish I never used it. I stopped taking it and returned to smoking.

Its been 9 weeks since I started using Chantix and my 8th week without a cigarette. I smoked a little more than a pack a day for 15 years and I have not had one serious craving. However, I do have crazy dreams and it'll make you sick if you haven't eaten.

I took it for 3 months before I quit. I had been smoking for 35 years. And its the most amazing drug in the world. I didn't suffer withdraws, never had a need or desire to smoke. If you are ready to quit Chantix will get you through. Thanks Pfizer you have increased the quality of my life!!! :)

I have been smoking cigarettes for 10yrs and I been on Chantix for two weeks and I’m already quitting smoking my taste buds are nasty if I smoke a cigarette. I’m so proud of myself because it’s not easy at all. Also it’s mind over matter that’s my opinion. Sha
