Ok.... Hello all, First let me start by telling you I'm Angie, and I have been thinking about quitting for a long time but the withdraw gets me after just meer hours!!! :( I have only smoked for about 7 years wow that long suprising when I read that but I have always hated smoking and all that it entails... the smell the stench that gets in your furniture clothes hair...ect... anyhow ... I have been considering this, and well Today I went to my Doctor who had that **** eating grin on his face that made me think uh oh...lol this may be a bit harder than I thought! Anyhow He was gave advice and Chatix which I will hopefully start tomorrow...I would like to know if you still have withdraw symptoms with the Chantix...? I am ashamed to say I have had addiction in the past, but in all my trials this is the hardest thing I have ever done..!! I never had craving and w/d symptoms so fast in my life and its a bit frightning!! So, any advice for a first timer would be greatly appreciated.. dayum I feel like Im in some kind of group...lol Thank You!
I'm using Chantix. My quit date was July 1st. I was successful for 12 days until I went on vacation. Today is my re-quit date! Smoking after being on Chantix for 4 weeks was awful, not that I was sick but the cigarette tasted terrible! That's a good thing in my book, made me think: I don't need this! I did have a few days of sadness, don't know if it was from the pill or the withdraws but in any case I kept on and did it (for a time) but I know I can do it again! I was on vacation when I smoked, kids on my nerves - excuses.... I'm back home now and working on getting rid of my stinkin' thinkin'! N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever)! Smoking is not an option! Those are just a few words of wisdom from people, no FRIENDS I've met here! I smoked for 30 years and if I can quit for 12 days that says something about Chantix. By the way, I have family in Hot Springs and Perryville! Nice to meet you and you CAN do this!
