Chantix Day 4 (Top voted first)
UpdatedStarted my fourth day today. Took pill 1 of 2 this morning, will dose a second time this evening with my meal. The medicine makes me feel quiet, and somewhat moody but nothing I can't work through. My natural tendency today is to isolate. I don't really feel like being sociable, though I wi be anyway just to try and fight against it (if indeed those symptoms are due to the Chantix). I already notice a considerable difference in taste and smell. The best way to describe it is I now "notice" myself smoking the cigarette. It becomes less desirable, though I do still have cravings as I'm a pack-a-day smoker. I have had a mood swing or two at work, but that could just be that I work in a crazy environment. I don't want to fall victim to self fulfilling prophecy, meaning if someone tells me I may act crazy on it, I don't want to automatically assume if I do get angry or cranky that "it's my medication." No crazy dreams yet, no desire to commit suicide. Will post new updates as new checkpoints are met! HOPEFUL IN DALLAS!!

How are things going?
Is it still working well for you, or have you run into any problems with it?
There have been various posts from people on both sides of the spectrum.

And a warning, once you've noticed yourself smoking and the smell of it, you will start to hate it and it will drive you crazy.
