Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group
The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine." Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual.

Hey all..
I hate to bother..when I'm not even not smoking yet.
This will be my fourth, in as many years..
Quit with chantix...ranging from a month to six ( the last).
I'm pretty sure I've reached the no nico... reception phase..
Which is good..and should move my quit up to the first.
My question is for any who used
chantix..
Has anyone been on multiple meds while using Chantix?
( I'm on a crazy combination of pain/muscle relaxer/anti-nausea meds)
Anyone ever get seratonin syndrome?
( I'm super paranoid of this..having gotten it from another Med mix..and it being possible with current one)
..that..and nausea..are why I'll stop the chantix shortly after the actually not smoking stage.
I'm wondering if it should be sooner, though..as I'm feeling a lot of confusion.
Anyone experienced with this? I don't recall this....befuddied..
Feeling/thinking with prior Chantix use.
I think it's day...six (?)
Thanks

as far as drug interaction, that should really be addressed with either your doctor or pharmacist...they can best help you. .I was on multiple pain meds and .muscle relaxers when I started on this journey. I had my doctor check off each one to be sure there was no drug interaction
You state that you have to quit the Chantix in the very beginning of your quit...each time you have relapsed. Is there any way to stay on the Chantix all the way thru. I feel that is the only way this med will really help you to remain cigarette free. If you can't do the Chantix, maybe another quit method might work better for you.

It's not an option because of my weight ( I lose it on Chantix..but gain it on the quit.
My " difference for this quit is...you guys..:-) ( a support system).
You're also right about discussing the Med mixes with my Docs and pharmacist. We decided there are risks...but worth it given my respiratory problems. I'm supposed to be vigilant about my side effects..
Not sure I can be, given my confusion.
I appreciate your reply.
One way or the other..
I will be not smoking with you soon..:-) :-)
Then I halfed that before I quit taking Chantix all together. I did not gain weight until I was not taking Chantix anymore.
I don't think I was taking any significant amount of other meds.
That was a little over 3.5 yeas ago.
Still smober :)
(((hugs:))) for support
