Is Chantix working?

I have been taking Chantix now for almost 2 weeks. I stopped smoking on Sunday, fatehrs day. I have no side affects at all. I her that most people do. Is it working for me? I also still get very strong cravings. I feel likei am doing this cold turkey. Is this right?

Excellent question...I have felt the same BUT for me I haven't smoked for over 60 days...I have had side affects...nausea...and have skipped a few...OK many days because of it...BUT again I haven't smoked...so what difference does it make...cravings yes...driving in my car is my danger zone and that's get better...for me it was a psychological habit...and habits are hard to break.
Stay focused and good luck

Well I'm not sure everyone does have side effects. I personally had some nausea for the first few days then it went away. I quess I still have cravings but they are not horrible ones yet...I think I read on their web site that sometimes it takes longer to really get in you system..maybe you should give the Chantix hotline a call and ask them...then if you do you can let us all know.

Ok, some cravings are normal, but are they consuming your day or now just an irritating thought now and then? Keep with it a few more days and see.
