Hey all,

Just wondering if any of you guys and gals have tried this prescription drug to help you quit smoking.  Just started on Tuesday with it and haven't had any of the side effects.  Any bad effects with this?

Yep, I took Chantix and it did work.  I did stop
smoking.  However, I was also taking some
antidepressants that cause you to become very
suicidal when mixed with Chantix.  Had to stop
the Chantix immediately.

But, that was just in my case.  Good luck!

There are some well publicized side effects to this drug. Just need to follow the precautions and let a family member know as well what to watch for. This drug can really help for most if you want to quit. Wild dreams are fairly common. Good luck.

It may be Chantix, or the patches, or the
gum, they will all work but you HAVE to
WANT to quit.  You really have to make
a committment to yourself or keep it.
Most people will try 5 - 6 times before they
can finally quit for good.

I've been a smoker for 40 years, but on August
31, 2010, I said that's it, and I have not smoked
since.  It has not been easy, in fact, it's damn
hard because nicotine is very habit forming,
much more that you realize.  I'm really going
to try and stay clean, but it's a battle every damn
day, and it will be for a long time.  If you decide
to quit, make sure you have a good support
system to help you.  It does help alot.

Good Luck to You..............

I do not smoke but my fiance did for many years, he quit a few times but always started again until he tried a different treatment that did not use drugs. He had Electro-Magnetic Therapy, it took less then 8 minutes and cost about $40.  I causes your body to not crave nicotine. He did experience a bad taste in the mouth because the gums is what hold the nicotine, but he has not craved a cigarette since. He even got his coworkers to have it done and they all quit too.
When all you have with you, is your bow, all your problems start to look more and more like targets.

 SMOKING IS HARD TO QUIT. I FINALLY QUIT 13 YEARS AGO USING THE SAME PROCEURE AS TUFF CHICK DESCRIBED. I SMOKED FOR 20 YEARS AND YOU STILL HAVE CRAVINGS 5-10 YEARS LATER. I STILL HAVE CRAVINGS EVERY 2-3 MONTHS BUT THEY ONLY LAST SECONDS. FOR THE PRICE OF THE THERAPY IT IS WORTH THE MONEY .  SOME PEOPLE GO FOR HYPNOSIS AND THIS HAS WORKED FOR THEM ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOG LUCK AND HOPE THE BEST FOR YOU.

I smoked for 15 years and the getting out of bed and wanting a smoke is what got me. One morning i got up and ran out the door without having one and have not had one since. The first day was hard but got it done. Still have cravings. Been 7 years now. So grow some ball's and do it without pills. JK

Why would anyone need a drug to quit using tobacco?  Good lord people!!  If you want something go out and do it!!  You have to really WANT it!!  It's called discipline....

And before I get the, "oh you don't know what it's like.......ect".   I chewed from the age of 15 to the age of 33.  Quit cold turkey because I WANTED TO!  Buck up people and never look back!!
