    I started this medication a week and a half ago and I set my quit date for 4 days ago. So far it has been really easy to stop and I quit on the date I set. It feels like when my mind tries to think about smoking it pushes the thought right out of my head. As for the side effects, it is really hard to sleep at night because of the dreams and I've had a few bad headaches. I am also experiencing ... Show Full Comment

On Saturday the 15th, my goal was to finish the last 4 packs in a carton. But the med made me slow down so much I still have 3 unopened packs so I knew it would take forever to finish them. I gave them away. As far as not craving, this medic ... Show Full Comment

    Comment:
    On second week of start pack. The first .5mg and 1mg days were good, noticed a considerable reduction in cravings with little to no side effects. When I started the 2mg days, I get extremely nauseous after the morning pill but not the evening pill. I also have increased cravings, making it harder to not smoke. I will be calling my doctor to see if its possible to just do the .5 or 1mg a day dosage ... Show Full Comment
