Ok here we go - day number 6 on chantix, still smoking and not really noticing anything different. No bad dreams, no funny taste, NOTHING...... Is this normal? I called my doctor and she said it could take awhile. Everyone is different. So I'm supposed to just follow my prescription and do what I'm told to do. Now, do I actually try and stop smoking all together on Sunday or do I keep smoking if I feel the need and just wait till I start to feel like they are making me sick. I'm a little confused and need some input from my chantix-ers. Thanks for the help - it really matters to me.
Chantix HELPS with the urges but YOU have to have the willpower to go along with it as well.
Yes, everyones side effects are different. I ahve weird dreams/insomnia but I can take both the pills on an empty stomach , no problem.
Tomorrow is day 16 for me and I am feeling great after 35 years of smoking.
Stay strong, just think of all the health benefits and $$ saved !
Keep thinking of your persoanl reasons for quitting....for me I was starting to get a wraspy smokers voice in the morning....and noticing a couple of "smokers wrinkles" around my mouth... NO WAY !!!! IT WAS TIME TO QUIT.
And my blood pressure was borderline high, etc,etc.
Hang in there. You will feel alot better. Good luck.
