I am 21 started smoking when I was 12, I smoked about a pack a day. I thought it would be a good birthday persent to myself and those who want to grow old with me, so I researched Chantix like crazy a few months before my quit date (my 21st birthday).

Week one, I still smoked on it, never got sick, no crazy dreams, sleep like a baby, I was fine. The day of my birthday I slept at my boyfriends house and he must have throw my pack out when we got home the night before... let me tell you that was the best thing that ever happend to me. I forgot my Chantix that day and I was driving out to the lake which was about an hour away and I was going nuts!!! The cravings past once we got to the lake.

I started week two on Chantix yesterday. It sort of makes me want to throw up but it passes after the first 45 mins. I haven't gotten that urge to smoke that makes you want to go crazy, which I am thankful for. I also signed up for becominganex.org and its a great support group. Quitting smoking it super hard but Chantix seems to be working for me so far. I have great friends and family who support me and I think that's something you really need.

DID YOU EAT BEFORE TAKING THE PILL ? You have to eat something first.
Hi there. I recently quit smoking completely for 3 weeks now after 16 years, let alone my employers smoke in the office where I work and I live with smokers. I took Chantix for 6-7 weeks and quit smoking completely. At first, I felt nauseous when taking the pill, but, that was because I took the pill on an empty stomach. Once I had some food then took the pill I never expereinced the side effect ever again. I don't know if you ate before taking the pill or not, but, alot of people on here or in general didn't eat before they took the pills and therefore, it caused them to have the effects. It was in the instructions all the while.
Oh. Let me add. I would normally smoke a pack of cigs in 2 days. I considered myself a crack head smoker because I smoked like a crack head needed another hit. I wouldn't smoke the whole cigarette just enough to satisfy my attack that came ever 10 minutes or so. During my duration on this program, I continued smoke everytime I had the urge. But, I smoke less and less each time. I gradually became smoke free. Remember,there is no nicotine in Chantix. It doesn't say you can't smoke, they just rather you didn't. But, this has worked for me and after 7 weeks, I am smoke free
