Give and get support around quitting
I stopped chantix a few days ago for unpleasant nightmares. (I had already decreased to 1/day)
HOWEVER, my urges to smoke are lighting up like crazy.
Has anyone gone through rough issues with chantix? Is there a way to continue taking it and combatting the bad thoughts/nightmares?! I'm wondering if taking it in the morning would help?
Or should I just throw in the towel completely (on the chantix)
Any advice appreciated!
Absolutely! Lisaml
I just explain earlier in this thread. My brother in law quit with Chantix. I also stated on my thread my sister quit from the patch! WHATEVER WORKS WORKS!
Many Blessings

I would trust the patch over a drug simply because I am Leary of all drugs and I figured my body was already used to nicotine .
Just my opinion here .....I would quit the chantix and begin using the patch . If you have already quit smoking for days you may want to skip the 21 mg and begin on step 2 ...14 mg .
What ever you decide to do you must make a commitment to NOPE & SINAO !
I've been "ok" taking the chantix before 2 pm - and adding a Benadryl at night. I'm afraid Day 33 is too late to start a patch...
I'm Leary of medicine too. This chantix (and Benadryl) is my only daily medicine and I can't wait to come off it! Counting the days;-)
I have, also tried Chantix twice.
Alas, I had a reaction, right away both times. I didnt realize it was the Chantix. I have used the patch, Hypnosis (helpful) Acupuncture ( very helpful) for ME! Im allergic, to so many things on the market these day. I think it may be fillers used. IDK. Nothing against using Chantix. Just my experiences that have been mentioned, and My Bro In Law's, experience. He thought it was great,' I beg to differ with him. He succeeded all that matters!! <3. Kudos to him!!
I think whatever works works.
I think the best knowledge I have gotten from sites is this; I'm a drug addict.!!
The drug, speaks whatever necessary to use it, for as long as it can.
I feel that my connection to it is Emotional for the most part for me. Sad reality, of any drug.
I am a NOPE Period!
That is all Good Night.
Whatever medicine or NRT helps, do it! I couldn't do patches for 2 reasons, They never stayed on so I had to put on waterproof first aid tape around the edges and no matter where I put them they burned my skin. I changed sites every day but it didn't matter. I still had the awful deep red square burns that were only under where the patch was, not where the tape was. I was looking either like I had a drunken cow farmer trying to get his livestock branded in the correct spot or a patchwork quilt. Thank God for chanitx for me.

What is NRT?
nicotine replacement therapy: patch, gum, etc.
Haha minihorses love your description of the patches. I couldn't use them either for that reson as well. Yep I say thank God to Chantix too, although I couldn't stay on them but 3 weeks, the naseua got the best of me. But it got me through the rough 2 weeks.
