Chantix Day 7 So Far, So Good

Updated

Today is the day I've chosen to quit.. cigs have already tasted awful. Side effects are minimal (little nausea if i don't eat and tired) Have had some vivid dreams but they have been interesting, so no problem there. I so want to quit, its a disgusting habit that will kill us all. I've tried other ways with no success. Giving it my all to be a proud quitter!
I do take other meds that may contribute to the tiredness; Fentanyl, Baclofen, Neurontin and Celexa

Hello, RSR! How are you doing? Did you manage to quit?

Congratulations on realizing that you need to do so. Quitting is very, very tough. Some people never manage, but Chantix has helped a lot of people.

I am on day 22 of Chantix. I chose to quit on day 8 as advised. I had some dizziness for a few days but I feel great now. It is important to eat even just a light meal before taking. Every time I got the urge to smoke I would go for a long walk. I find myself walking 5 miles a day and have already lost 9 pounds. I started eating healthier as well because every time I quit smoking I gained weight. I was a pack a day for over 25 years. I take my pill at 6 am after a small breakfast and again at 4pm. I found this helps lesson the vivid dreams at night. Even after just over 2 weeks of no cigarettes I have noticed a difference in my breathing and how much easier it is for me to go up and down stairs. It truly is about will power and choosing not to let cigarettes win. I am saving all the money I used to spend on cigarettes to take my family on an awesome vacation. To those of you out there who doubt they can do it. Just keep trying .. You can win this battle!
