Chantix

[bmarric00]

I started taking Chantix about 11 days ago. So far, they really have no worked at all. The first day, I started to not get much out of a cigarette and my cravings were slightly decreased. After that, they didn't seem to work at all. Once in a while they seem to kick in for a short time, other than that, nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible I'm just immune to Chantix?

My dooctor said it takes about 2 weeks. I can feel now that cigarettes do not taste good. It has been 10 days for me. I have 5 cigarettes ledt. I will smoke them and thats it. I have had some constipation(I go but my stomach feels odd) and sick with morning pill. I also wake up alot in the middle of the night. Tonitght taking pill earlier than usual. Good luck. Let me know how you are doing?

Thanks Cindy. You're the first person who replied with any actual information! I have had almost no negative side affects so far. I occassionally get a mild headache, but it only lasts about an hour. And I have had some crazy dreams which I understand a lot of people have. Other than that, nothing. I do notice that I am smoking about half of what I used to. I don't know if it's psychological on my part or the Chantix.

Today is my first day no cigarette. I have been up since 6am and it is 9 am now. No cravings. Took full pill this morning and do not feel sick. Maling taking the half dose for 11 days built me up for full dose. I feel kind of gassy or how you fell before your period. That is about all.I really think I can do this. Craving is really gone but habit will be a challenge. I heard 72 hrs before nictotine is out of your system. My last cigarette was 7:30 last night. Good luck to all of us. Let me know if it seems like yoru cravings are diminishing. I quit today 11 days after being on chantix.I think smoking half of what you use to is the chantix working. I did not plan on quitting today. I have been trying to delay my first cigarette for a week now. So I have been takjing a shower and throwing in a load of laundry., unloading dishwasher then having a cigareette. This morn did all that. said to myself I'm not craving a cigarette. Lets see how long before I crave. Went on the computer, did my hair still no craving. Now 3 hrs later still no craving.
