I'm very afraid of starting Chantix from the side effects and sites i've seen on the suicide rate and depression factors of those taking it - if any body who's been taking it can offer me some personal opinions i'd appreciate that.

Kim, I quit smoking after 21 years using Chantix. Please do not allow other's horror stories preventing you from doing what you need to do to save your life. I highly suggest you try Chantix; if it doen't work out for you, you can stop taking the pills. Chantix saved my life. I could not have quit without it. Good luck!

Hi, I have been smoke free for 3 days now. Today is my 4th day. Doing great. No cravings. I do get sick from the pill but I deal with it. Some interesting dreams but not every night. The later I take the last pill the more vivid the dreams. I hope I do not gain much weight. There is a Zumba class I'm joining. I'm going to try it out Nov 17 and see if I like it. Dance/aerobic class. I have been lifiting 10 lb weights every night at home. I hope to get in shape now not smoking. I'm small but need to tone.My husband still smokes. We always smokesdoutside so it has been ok.It has been nice here but getting cold this weekend . Will be glad not to be outside smoking..I really feel good about this quit..Asked pabout sucide and other adverse side effects. She has not experienced anyone having those. she thinks you would have to have tedencies prior.Good luck everyone.

Well tomorrow Nov. 8th is my quit date. I've had it set for a few weeks now and have been trying to separate myself from triggers. I've gone from 30 cigarettes a day to about 10 (but granted it took a lot of work and time). I started Chantix on Nov. 1st. I've noticed my cravings have subsided. Although I'm SO ANXIOUS about tomorrow. Thought it would be best to quit on weekend when I'm not dealing with stress of work! Only side effects I've noticed of Chantix is that every night I've had a lot of dreams. Nothing bad or too strange - in fact I love analyzing dreams so I can tell you why I had each one.....it's just odd for me to have so many EVERY night. Good luck to you all!!!

Hi all, I started on Chantix 7 days ago. I set my quit date for November 15 and today is the first day I am having difficulties. I started the pills and immediately noticed the cravings were less and was able to cut my smoking in half right away. Today, this is all I can think of and really struggling with not smoking more than my quota.

Today is day 15 of taking Chantix and day 7 without a smoke....
  Starting on a weekend was good for me. I no longer "Need" a cig like I did after a long flight or big meal.... At work I get up once an hour or so to have a smoke and realize that I threw them away and don't have any.... so I sit down and continue what I was doing.... Its not easy... but its not as hard as I always thought it would be....
  The dreams are the only side effects.... and I eat alot....but hopefully I will always be smoke free....
  GOOD LUCK
