Working / Worked
Took it for only a month. Killed the cravings but side effects were horrific. I became moody and depressed. A few months later, and I'm still not totally "me". Weird stuff.

Wasnt a walk in the park. But I did it!!!!!Ive quit.

Down to 4 cigarettes per day. Aiming for a complete Quit!! Ill do it. Feeling too relax; very unlike me plus withdrawl symptoms at times.

not smoking so it did work. Side effects are minor compared to the alternative (smoking-never again)

Worked well, but I think I quit taking it too soon after quitting smoking. Side effect - crazy dreams. But I'm a 2-pack-a-day smoker, and Chantix made it easy to only crave about 3 cigarettes a day.

It worked and I quit smoking, but some weird side effects

Chantix was working but i started getting headaches all day long and dizziness. I had to stop because of the way it made me feel.
