I have smoked for 28 years. Have tried gum, lozenges, nictone patches, lozenges and patches together, Cold turkey (lasted maybe 1-2 hours) and now Chantix. I have tried Chantix once before but because of the nausea i stopped after 1 week. It probably didn't help that I did not read the directions about taking with food and a glass of water. Well, anyway I am on day 3 of my second round with the Chantix. As long as I take it with food and water I have had no nausea at all. I am only 43 but I had a little problem with my heart over the summer and I feel like this is my last shot at quitting smoking for good. I have read many of the reviews and I appreciate people sharing their experience, it is why I decided to give this a try again. My quit date is Saturday and I will keep you posted. I'm nervous but hopeful. Wish me luck.
My quit date was November 7th. I cut down but I wasn't able to quit. I kept smoking for a few more days and cut down each day. I don't think it was the nicotine that I needed I think it was just getting use to not smoking. I quit completely on November 11th. You still feel cravings to smoke but they are managable and go away pretty quickly. I never, never thought that I would be able to quit smoking and I know I am not out of the woods yet but I think with Chantix I'm going to make it this time for good. I would reccommend this to anyone who really wants to quit.
