Chantix Reviews

Show: for
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.
insomnia, nausia, constipation but it worked very well.
Great medication, I would recommend it to everyone, made it a lot easier on myself and my family and friends.
I have urges but chew gum to stop the cravings.
Wonderful, I still think of ciggys but can function and forget about it quickly.slightly neausated(spelling???)
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 worked until i quit taking it adn i gained about 15lbs which really upset me.
Working / Worked
Just starting.
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!!
just started
So far so good. I quit four days ago. Discomfort and cravings are not too bad.
I'm on the seventh day of Chantix and tomorrow is my quit day. I feel the Chantix working, because I've cut down already and I don't feel I'll die without a cigarette tomorrow when I put them down. I've had a few more dreams on Chantix and have enjoyed them! I've had no other side effect.
but made my belly hurt and couldnt go to the bath room!
Side effects were naseau, trouble sleeping and strange dreams.
So far is working or helps. To me it made the cigarette taste nasty and I didn't want it anymore.
