My husband and I both quit with Chantix - he smoked for 50 years and tried EVERYTHING even hypnosis. keep smoking and soon you will notice you will be smoking less and less cigarettes. the only side effect we had was gas and constipation - start taking a stool softener right away and that should help. Good Luck good Buddy - Charlotte

If you get depressed while taking Chantiz. Stop taking it Immediately. Don't drink Alcholhol with this drug.

1 yr on March 30th with Chantix (ask your Dr. if you can stay oni it longer) If you slip go right back on the Chantix)after 40+ of smoking. Even with Pulmonary Hypertension, Lupus, Bipolar, Depression and major back problems. If you slip Keep going !!!!- I still have 2 smokers in the house and yes I would like one now and again and the smell still is good some of the time, but if I can so can you. I had upset stomach but take it with food. You can do it with this medication. Chris

It took almost 6 months of little slips, one here, a puff there. Use the support system that comes with the Chantix - I called almost everyday. The website helps too! Chris

I will recommend for you to stop taking Chantix, side effects are horrible, I've read blogs of people having heart attacks while taking Chantix. I was in it for four days and had a terrible breakdown, my anxiety is uncontrollable, now all I want is for this medicine to warn off my system. I want to be back to normal.
They should take it out of the market.

I started chantix a while back and I couldn't take them..they made me sick,,I tried cutting in half and still got sick from them..The one thing I can say is..while I did try them,the second day I could tell a difference in smoking...it wasn't for me wanting to smoke,it was the habit reaching for one when I didnt want it...I have read pros and cons on the drug..if it works,good luck to you,if not,try something else...

haven't had a smoke since feb.7 i found if you took chantix with alot of water or food it would cut back on nausea. as far a dreams, i try to take it 5-6 hours before going to sleep. this eliminates most weird dreams. and some are weird. i had one where i went to party with the clintons and danced with chelsea. weird thing is i can't stand the clintons. good luck, rich
