Starting Chantix tomorrow morning

Not excited about the crazy dreams or the upset stomach, but got a baby on the way and got to do it. I know there was a new years thread about quitting. Anyone quit this year? Anyone fall off the wagon whose tried Chantix?

I did the Chantix thing for the same reason. I didn't even finish the first month of meds. I quit and never looked back.
Chantix helped a lot, but I'm pretty sure my not wanting to force my newborn son to inhale my smoke was a bigger factor.
Never had any crazy dreams, I just puked pretty bad once I had the pills in my system and went for a smoke.
I quit April 8th, 2012. Haven't had a smoke since.

I quit 7 years ago with it. Completely removed my desire to smoke. If I tried it made me sick.
I didn't have crazy dreams. Good luck.

Chantix successfully helped me quit cigarettes almost 2 years ago. I've gotten drunk a couple times and smoked a cigarette but it was actually kinda disgusting and I didn't enjoy it.
I never had any crazy dreams like people describe, only the normal dreams I had just seemed way more vivid and real.
Good luck!

I did the chantix thing. Had the really weird dreams, but it also gave me severe mood swings. I lasted 2 weeks on it, didn't smoke for another month, and then found out my gf at the time was the town whore and I was right back chain smoking.

I would HIGHLY recommend reconsidering taking this drug. I had a horrible experience with it. There's a lot of research that this is a garbage drug. Could cause serious anger, suicidal thoughts, depression, etc. two thumbs down for this garbage drug.

If you have any mental illness issues, be careful cuz it effects the release of dopamine. For nausea, take it on a full stomach.
ETA: It will give you the best chance for success if you can complete the dose regimen.

It's hard to finish a cigarette, even if you are hammered when you are using Chantix. Keep using it like the doctor says, even though you don't want one. It'll be 7 years in April, well worth it, and I haven't found any issues being around cigarette smokers. I do smoke cigars on occasion and also no issues.

I quit just this past couple of weeks. I went cold turkey but I broke a few times and smoked but after battling it for 3 weeks eventually it just got easier and the urges were easier to control.

Mind over matter, IMO.
I've smoked cigs while drinking for 18 or so years. I have zero desire to smoke a cig during the week whatsoever and could go the rest of my life not ever smoking another one.
Good luck on your journey.

just be sure that you immediately discontinue use and contact the prescribing doctor if you experience any negative emotional effects.

I haven't used it, but have a number of coworkers who have....
I have to say, it is the only thing that I have ever seen that is remotely effective in helping people stop smoking...it is not a miracle drug that is gonna simply remove the urge from you, but if you are really ready to quit, you can do it with chantix...
the folks that I worked with, all had some minor side effects, but it was nothing that made any of them quit taking it...mostly, they just got aggravated more frequently (and I am not sure that wasn't just from not smoking)...
good luck to you...and don't be stressing over whether you will be successful or not...just make up your mind and do it....

It's the withdrawal not the drug
