Chantix for quitting smoking



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if any of you have ever used Chantix to quit smoking. I just started on the program today. Were you able to quit within the 7 days? I think I'm on the program for 3 or 4 months.:clap2:

My girlfriend who has smoked for 30 years was able to quit in 5 days of using the drug and has not smoked for a month now. She says it's a wonder drug. Her husband is also successfully using it... he had a 2+ pack/day habit and is in an office with 3 smokers ....and he has quit also. The only side effects that they complain of is slight nausea for an hour or so in the evenings.

WASabubble butt, I don't really know how it works but it does. With my experience today I feel like I just don't want to smoke. I think it must affect the brain sensors for nicotine or something. I just felt really funny picking up a smoke today. I can't describe it other than the fact that it doesn't taste that good. It is taking me a long time to finish one and I haven't really been able to. I just started the drug today. I think it is a miracle drug,,,I swear! Let me know when you start okay. Julie

I am a true believer in Chantix. I started taking Chantix January 11 and my quit day was January 17. I have not smoke one time. I am now 10 weeks SMOKE FREE:clap2: .

I have smoked for 22 years and have tried many times. It is amazing how great I feel and how much better I can breathe. I dont weeze at night when I sleep.

There really are very few cravings for me. Just last week it appeared to me that I havent even thought about smoking in about 3 days.

Not sure if your aware but Chantix website has an awesome support group that will either send you and email daily or make a phone call for support. It really helped me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
