    Default chantix

    Not sure if this is the right forum to post this.

    Apparently chantix is addictive?? I sell a few starter kits now in my computer store and had one of my long time customers come in for a quick upgrade today. Both he and his wife are MD's. He noticed I was no longer smoking and asked what I used to stop. After telling him about the e-cig, he bought a kit for his wife who still smokes.

    Both he and his wife have prescribed chantix in the past. He asked if I minded them sending customers my way who want to get away from analogs or at least cut down. From what he told me, most people who try to get away from chantix get terrible withdrawals and end up back on it.

    While I didn't get any withdrawal symptoms after quitting Chantix, the desire to smoke came right back as soon as the drug was out of my system. And it certainly wasn't cheap, as my insurance wouldn't pay a penny on the prescription.

    I was on Chantex. The first week was ok. by the second week everytime I took it I would end up Dizzy and nauseas for 4 hours or more. It got to the point I would spend my mornings on the bathroom floor because I couldent move and than back there again at night for several hours more. Oh yea it helped me quit smoking alright. I was so sick I couldent smoke. I stayed on it for the full 6 weeks though ,I was determined to quit smoking. When I stopped taking it I would get these horrific migraines. I never had migraines befor in my life. My mood swings were awfull as well. I ended up smoking again after about 9 weeks because i was damned if I was going to go back on the Chantex.

    I know people who have tried the Chantex though and it worked for them, with little to absolutely no side effects. Every body's diffrent.

    I all but quit smoking using Chantix but as soon as I guit taking it I started smoking. I think it would work if you could take it the rest of my life but you can't. It was ecig that got me off of cigarettes and I will continue to vape these the rest of my life.
