CHANTIX —
Perhaps my smoking only about 5 cigarettes a day doesn't warrant Chantix. I felt nauseous (all the time) and like my body was being overloaded with nicotine even though I cut the cigarettes down to about 2 a day. It was a horrible feeling, like the my skin at been turned inside out and someone was pouring gasoline on it.. To add insult to injury, my insurance wouldn't pay for it ($110 for a month's supply) and we have pretty good insurance. I hung with Chantix for a week but had to stop and I'm still feeling nauseous even after not having in my system for 2 days. I hope it stops tomorrow. I've quite smoking before and it was never as bad as taking the Chantix. The good news is that I don't want to have to go through this anymore. I quit it all!
