Chantix Was A Miracle To Me

I could not stop smoking. and I smoked a lot! Everything revolved around the next cigarette. I was a major stress smoker. I smoked two packs a day, plus more. I kept getting serious sinus infections and allergies always going to drs.. Then I started with bronchitis! The dr said I was just beginning into the first stages of emphysema...I wheezed and had chest pain like mad...I prayed for some way for me to quit. That night I heard my first tv ad on Chantix.. I sat up and said... that's it!! All I remember hearing is 'they found a pill that shuts off the brain receptors that crave nicotine'... I said thank you god, went to the doctors and got some. I made a quit date, for 5 days later. That was 8 years ago! I never smoked again... No side effects at all! And I had a history of...

I am 2mos smoke free after smoking at least a pack a day for 20 years. No one thought I'd ever quit....not even me! I know others who have had success with chantix but had terrible stomach pain side effects. I am fortunate to only have REALLY vivid dreams...not bad, just so real that at times I have to think if some of them really happened or not. When I started taking it, I smoked (dramatically less) for about 10 days.If you are still smoking more than a week after starting chantix, I believe the most important thing to do is actually take that plunge and not light up. You will find that on this drug, it's so easy to do! You really wont miss it. You just need to do it. I got another great benefit from it too, I have no desire to drink a beer. So I decided to quit that too. I us...

I just want to say i smoked for 25 years and have tried to quit many times. I've tried patches, hypnosis, gum and cold turkey and never made it. This time I KNOW it's gone for good. I don't even remember i smoked sometimes. I never crave it. It's finally over. Thank you chantix. ## I smoked for 38 years and tried to quit by using other stop smoking aids, but had no success. Eating before taking Chanix eliminates the nausea. I had some dreaming but nothing weird. Chanix is the only thing that has helped me to stop smoking. Those who had suicidal thought and actions, probably already had some underlining mental health problems. I have had restless leg syndrome. You can exercise that away. ## Wow!

I have been on chantix for a month with a few side effects like weird dreams but nothing to make me put the cigarettes down I smoke a pack day and still do. I don't insurance at 220.00 month not sure if its worth it. ## Hi, Shay! It is possible that it just isn't effective for you. Not every medication works for everyone that tries it. However, you are supposed to pick a quit date, which is normally your 8th day of taking the Chantix and try to stick with it and let the medication help you by preventing the cravings for them. Learn more Chantix details here. This medication has helped many people quit smoking, but it is not a miracle drug that will do everything by itself, you do have to make some effort to quit, as well. Have you tried not smoking/having a quit day?
