I was on Chantix and did not need anything.If I were you I would talk to your doctor before doing this. Also right now you are only on day 6 on day 7 you will take 2 pills a day. That will stop the cravings almost completely. Now what you will find is the habits that we create when we smoke. Like having a smoke after a big meal. That was hard. But what I did was deep breathing and chewed on a straw that helped alot. I also did not stop myself from being around ppl who smoked but I figured that was part of life so I just did it. It was hard but then after a couple of weeks I do not like the smell at all.

My Husband and I both Used Chantix! It worked Great For Both Of Us!! We recommend it to all are Friends!!!

Congrads to all of you that could quit using Chantix! I was so hopeful when I got my RX and was told that there weren't any drug interactions. By the 7-1/2 day, I was almost suicidal. It did interact with my Cymbalta (for depression) and my FM pain returned. I quit taking it immediately, and I'm almost back to normal. Be careful if you take antidepressants, watch what your body and your mind are telling you!
Good luck to you all! I'm hoping that this support group will help me to quit cold turkey.

I am not taking chantix, but it was one of my considerations. chose to use the nicotine patch (16 days clean) However...I know someone who is using chantix, and has nothing but praise for this new drug.He said he has tried all other methods, with no luck, but this is his miracle drug!!

In response to Reply # 19 I have been taking Chantix for three days now and I am concrened as your comments stated you were on antidepressants and felt suicidal. Im on Paxil CR 25 MG do you think I have anything to worry about.

Everyone is different. I have clinical depression which in my case is genetic and severe if untreated. As I said in my post, YOU have to be very aware of what your body and mind are telling you. Pay close attention. If you see ANY change to your depression level, call your Dr! I have reported my case to Pfizer so it is documented.

It may be like my pharmasist said...I won the lottery, just nothing good. I may be the one in 10 million that this happens to. Good luck! I hope that it works for you!
HUGS!

Hi Doug, It worked for me! I was a hopeless 42 year smoker and it did the job. I am still on it. It's been almost 5 months. Was off for a month and my doctor put me back on it. She said you can take it for up to a year! I tried everything out there. But HIT THE JACKPOT WITH CHANTIX!!!!!!

all I see is how great it works to help the withdrawls...but nothing on what happens when you stop taking it....it seems like your delaying the inevitable with the drugs. if it helps and you can stay a non smoker long after quitting chantix...good, however it must be discussed as with other methods it is a temporary fix...eventually you have to quit the fix and go it alone.

I think I'll start with 30 minutes to begin...2 hours seems forever! :O)

today is my second day on chantix. i have tried the patches, gum, and cold turkey. i heard all the praises of chantix so i got a prescription from my dr. still smoking this week, but i am trying to cut back now. my quit date is the 16th.

This is a great little article. It's a nice reminder that you are impacting the environment in your own small, positive way through something as simple as the food that you eat in a day.

Thanks x

Thanks!!!

I am going to check this out--thanks so much!!!
