CHANTIX Review Summary

Quitting smoking is a very tough thing to do. Reviewers who finally kicked the habit have found that CHANTIX was helpful in easing their withdrawal symptoms and helping them to kick the smoking habit. These prescription pills take the enjoyment out of smoking, allowing smokers to ease off of cigarettes without the strong cravings they normally would have. While no medication is side effect free, these pills generally cause only slight side effects in some users, including nausea and stomach pains. They can be expensive but many insurance carriers cover the prescription. Want to quit smoking but need help? Check out our other smoking cessation product reviews and take the plunge.

Critical Review

A miracle drug for some people, but not me.

I have tried everything to quit smoking and nothing had worked in the past. When I heard about Chantix, I was excited and couldn't wait to see my doctor for a prescription. I really did want to quit, but just needed assistance getting over the addiction. — I took the pill for… read full review »

AUG

2007

I was extremely nervous about this product and about quitting in general. I really did not want to do it. I just knew I had to and I did not want to wait for a doctor to tell me, I was going to die. The directions tell you that you are allowed to smoke for 7 days which made me relieved. I did not want to quit cold turkey. So, I began the first month of 3 months prescriptions of pills. I had no side effects at all. By the middle of the week, I noticed that I was not getting the same satisfaction from the cigarettes that I normally… read full review »

2008

Short and sweet: I've smoked a pack to a pack and a half a day for 12 years. I've made several lame attempts to quit in the past. One quit was for four months using the nicotine patch....this was a tough four months primarily because I was having to use the "will power method" and still had nicotine in my system. I've been smoke free now for 27 days and while it's still early yet, I can never imagine picking up another cigarette. I believe you have to be ready to quit smoking on the Chantix, but it lessons the "wanting to jump out of my skin" feeling or the… read full review »

Keep taking as prescribed

Chantix does work in a way that is totally different from other smoking cessation aids. By blocking the neuro receptors in the brain it aids in removing the pleasure that you get for lighting up in the first place. With other methods, they just provide nicotine in another form and it is dangerous to continue smoking with some of them. Chantix also offers online support and toll free numbers to help you with the process to stop smoking. — — If you take as directed, you will eventually start having physical reactions to continuing to smoke, such as a really bad… read full review »

It worked for me and it can work for you too.

JAN

2008

I had tried to quit smoking by going cold turkey a countess number of times. These attempts were very short lived and I was in my car heading to get a pack of cigs usually within 24-36 hours. When i decided to try chantix i researched it online and talked to my Dr about it. Chantix isnt cheap but i was fortunate enough for it to be covered by my prescription medicine plan. I started the medicine and made a big mistake, you DO NOT want to take it without eating first, it will make you sick to your stomach if you dont. I actually threw up when I took it on an empty stomach.The first few days… read full review »

NOV

Chantix REALLY works to help you quit smoking. Notice, I said to help you quit. I do consider this a "magic" pill, but you have to do your part, too. — I wasn't 100% on-board to quit smoking. I had already tried to quit 6 times before. I tried cold-turkey, Wellbutrin, and nicotine gum. Each time I attempted to quit, by the third day, I was back to smoking. — If you have ever tried to quit smoking, you know the side effects. It becomes unbearable. — I am a parent of a small child and smoked for well over 12 years. Don't sit here and tell yourself that… read full review »

This was a miracle drug for my husband!

JUN

2008

My husband has suffered two heart attacks, triple bypass surgery and a stroke, each time the doctors told him he had to quit smoking. When he had his bypass surgery 3 years ago the doctors told him if he did not quit he would be back in surgery within 5 years. He did not listen to the doctors and continued to smoke. His reason was that nothing worked and because he smoked for 35 years he could not quit. He stated he tried everything and nothing would work. Well about a year ago he became a proud grandfather and decided life was too short and would like to be… read full review »

Nothing MAKES you quit smoking!

I am a tobacco counselor and have been helping people quit smoking for about 5 years. Until Chantix came along, all we had was NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) and Bupropion (Wellbutrin or Zyban). Chantix was and is a welcome addition to the tough task of quitting smoking. — The key here is nicotine, one of the most addictive drugs in the world. Chantix goes after the receptors that scream for nicotine: fools them into thinking they're getting it, then goes on to actually block the effect of nicotine. — Studies from the company initially stated 44 -60% quit rates.

This medication takes the urge almost completely away

better than patch or chewing gum, interested in positive results

DEC

2007

I have smoked for more years than I care to admit to and have tried every other cessation technique out there. This is the first time that I have literally just not wanted to smoke after only a week. My only problem is that i couldn't afford to continue due to financial issues but I definitely plan on starting this medication again soon. There's really no struggle to stop, the cigarettes just don't taste good anymore, you don't get the same satisfaction from them and you're urge to smoke dimishes. It's almost too good to be true! — — I know quite a few people that have quit… read full review »

I consider myself a smoker who does not smoke. Chantix helped me quit this last time, and I've not had a cigarette in nearly two months. — — I liked that the medacine made me not want to smoke. I'd tried some of the other drugs, Wellibutrin, to quit smoking. While it "took the edge off" it never made me want to stop smoking. — — Chantix also has a darker side. In addition to the upset stomach I would get if I forgot to eat when I took it, It made me terribly depressed, irritable and mean. I never had suicidial thoughts but I did have runaway… read full review »

3 months smoke-free with depression side effects

married, I believe in honesty, trying to quit smoking

APR

2008

My wife and I were both smokers for over 30 years. Our Dr. recommended that we try the Chantix program and work as a team to support eachother. We did the first week, taking the pills and still smoking, then the second week was pills with no smoking. We both thought we were on the right road and that we had finally found a cure for both saving our health plus money spent on cigarettes. We remained smoke-free for an entire 3 months, but it wasn't easy, especially for my wife. One of the side effects of Chantix is depression and that was what she suffered from. She said there was no reason to… read full review »

NOV

2007

I started taking Chantix back in May, and after 3 weeks I was able to quit on June 8th for 45 days. I didn't even want to quit, but needed to for a medical procedure. I couldn't believe how relatively easy it was to just quit after 15 years as a heavy, full-flavor Marlboro smoker. I finished a pack and that was it. After some serious family issues, I actually forced myself to smoke again (stupidly), and trust me, it wasn't easy to go back. The first cigarette, each drag made me feel drunk and nauseated. I had stopped taking Chantix a couple of weeks before (again, stupidly). — I… read full review »
