I would sometimes forget to take the 2nd pill so the starter kit lasted longer than 4 weeks. I did it in approximately 5 weeks instead of 12.

I have been taking it for 14 days. Today is day one with no cigs. It has really worked on curbing the desire to smoke, the urge, the need. I often forget to smoke. I really cut down before my quit day. I really like it. Side effects have only been wild dreams and occasionally nausea. But if I take it with food I am fine.

It took me about 10 days to feel strong enough to stop smoking after I stopped chantix, and today is my first day not smoking, and so far, so good! Th eonly thing that sucks about it, is that my insurance doesnt pay for it, and it costs 100.00 or so..But its worth it!!
