Chantix Reviews

Show: for
good days bad days
Worked great for me
working
It worked! I have been smoke free for 7 weeks and counting! BUT the side effects were horrible...I never got use to them..I only took Chantix for 5 weeks, I am fine and I will NOT go back to smoking ever again...
it worked until april 22 when a family member had a heart attack and died
my doctor said to wear the patch for a week to give Chantix time to get into my system.
was great until I stopped. I'm trying round 2.
It helped with the cravings for a cigarette

i use cahtix to help me stop smkoing. it seems to cut back ont the depression associated with the withdrawls.
so far so good
got dizzy, stopped taking
I'm planning on using this to ease symptoms while I'm craving cigarettes badly. It worked for my husband,and I've heard it has worked for many women around me. Crossing my fingers!
NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS SO FAR. Stopped taking at about three weeks. NO problems or changes in cravings easier every day
Working / Worked
worked fairly well until the dose increase, then side effects required stopping medication
Working / Worked
definitely lessens desire for cigarettes, but I am not sure the side effects are worth it
