Starting Chantix tomorrow morning

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.

Took mine for 3 weeks and have not smoked since in 7 years. Watch out though, I "rewarded" myself each day with ice cream, and gained far too much weight. If you dont already, start working out now.

And good luck.

Thanks! Good luck in your attempt.

Once I could get hammered and not smoke is when I knew I had made it. That first time though was rough. Chantix was in full swing by then.

I don't smoke all the time. I might have 1 or 2 on the way to the office...but when I drink (which is about every other day) I'm a chimney.

I am actually hoping that I won't go drink as much anymore too, because I think I actually go have drinks after work, just so I can smoke.

I quit with Chantix. It never made me sick or anything. You just kind of get tired of smoking when you don't get anything from it.

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.

Anyone fall off the wagon whose tried Chantix?

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.
