Whew! Chantix will definitely help you stop smoking. For many years I've heard about it, but was skeptical about taking it because I've always thought about it showing up on a commercial saying "if you or a loved one has taken this medication.....etc." lol Also, I never was really interested in quitting until now. I am 33 years old and have been smoking since I was 19. It's t ... Show Full Comment

Whew! Chantix will definitely help you stop smoking. For many years I've heard about it, but was skeptical about taking it because I've always thought about it showing up on a commercial saying "if you or a loved one has taken this medication.....etc." lol Also, I never was really interested in quitting until now. I am 33 years old and have been smoking since I was 19. It's time I quit. I've been on the medication for 2 weeks now and I have smoked ONLY a total of 10 cigarettes. Normally I buy a pack every 2 days. Chantix makes my Newports smell and taste very bland or something. I don't plan on buying another pack ever again!! Especially since I had to pay $80 out of my pocket. My insurance covered the other $350 plus. Thank God!! I have only experienced nausea and drowsiness as side effects so far, but I stay eating so it's bearable. I am looking forward to my success on quitting for good and completing my starter pack.

Set my quit date after starting the meds. Haven't smoked since Aug 15th. Found it is important to eat Before taking the meds because I felt like my heart rate became erractic 20 mins after dosage day or night. I have gotten accustomed to the vivid dreams however I have a low tolerance for enteractions with people. My bowel movement schedule has changed and I am gassy. All my symptoms are ...

All my symptoms are manageable and worth not smoking. I am on my continuing pack.

30 + years as a pack-a-day smoker. On the last two days of my starter pack. Quit smoking the first week. Side effects are horrendous. I'm nauseated night and day. I feel like crap most of the time. Very tired. Lots of gas, cramping and bloating. I like the vivid dreams, though. BUT I'M NOT SMOKING! No physical cravings. This stuff works just like they say it does, at least for me. I ha ...

30 + years as a pack-a-day smoker. On the last two days of my starter pack. Quit smoking the first week. Side effects are horrendous. I'm nauseated night and day. I feel like crap most of the time. Very tired. Lots of gas, cramping and bloating. I like the vivid dreams, though. BUT I'M NOT SMOKING! No physical cravings. This stuff works just like they say it does, at least for me. I had one cigarette since I quit. There was absolutely no satisfaction in it. Useless to pick up another one. I'm going to suffer through a couple more weeks of treatment and then wean myself off. Today was the first time I didn't wake up thinking about cigarettes. I have a lot of rituals built around cigarette smoking, so I'm working on establishing different habits to take the place of the smoking habits. It's SO much easier to do that when you're not fighting the physical cravings. I had two doctors who didn't want to give me Chantix. They said it's rough stuff, and it is, but it's worth it to suffer these symptoms for a while in order to quit smoking. The stay-quit rate is excellent. I'm excited about my smoke-free life!
