Chantix works

[mjp808]

I quit a year or so ago, and Chantix made it really easy. You just take it everyday and continue smoking like normal. Eventually, 2 or 3 weeks later you just dont like the taste and don't crave it, and stop.

It would be interesting to see it's efficacy against e-smoking.

Yes I'm back to smoking, but it was after many months of being off Chantix.

Chantix made me PUKE. Could not take it. Have a whole bottle of it here waiting for the round file. It seems to be the case people go through hell and all that work on Chantix and once they get off it they go right back to smoking.

I'm with you on that Lucky, I went through the same thing! Now there is a class action law suit against Chantix. See how big pharma got something pushed though and it turns out that the side effects are worse than we were led to believe (ie: suicide, black outs, etc)

Yes it did work for a short time, but I was miserable everyday. The nausea was almost unbearable.

I will stick with my e-cigs. No nausea, tastes great, not bitc*y, clean lungs... so far the best method to date for me!!

(hey Lucky, congrats on 4 days, 15 hours!, you can do it)

I started on Chantix. After a week of being on Chantix my right arm started having severe pain. I quit Chantix after the pain started and 3 months later I still have severe pain in my arm. I can not raise my arm above my head without pain shooting up my arm. I know Chantix works for some but after what happened to me I would not suggest anyone using this drug.

So, you trade one drug for another drug?

Not an insult at you...basically, chantix is to smoking what methadone is to heroin.

They're both killers.

You had a better time with Chantix than I did. It made me feel awfull, when I had a smoke it made me feel worse, when I took the next pill it made me feel worse, you get the picture. I finished the whole treatment $$$$, and still smoked, of course. Smoking my e-cig gives me pleasure, it doesn't kill me, why would I stop?

May your vapors be sweet and tasty, and your carts always full.

I really chuckled at the irony of your post as edited above. Chantix is not supposed to be used forever. So, in the end, Chantix does not work, or did not work for you. I hope vaping turns out to be a better therapy.

Never was depressed until Chantix. Sick and depressed and still smoking.
Hate that stuff!

Sadly there are some who can't take Chantrix so some like myself see e-cigs as a blessing when the other items out there like patches and gums just didnt work...

I was on Chantix for several months. It did help me quit smoking (while I was taking it). But, it was hell. It made me very depressed and stressed-out. I had horrible dreams that I actually remembered after I woke up. In some cases I couldn't remember which events were real and which ones I only dreamed. In my opinion, Chantix is pure evil and I wouldn't recommend it. YMMV.
