Ohhhhhhhh yeah......... I'll be doing so good not smoking I'll just say.. what the hey....... enjoy life's simplier pleasures. Ahem.... not a good thing to be saying on this site but its true none the less. Just started my third week on chantix and went from 2 packs a day to about 10 cigs a day without really trying. Someone on here wrote that the chantix would chose the quit day for ya....... and u know, it kinda makes sense..... in reading, I found that it may actually take 6 months taking the product for your chemical imbalance to correct itself, and I have noticed several "triggers" have dissapeared....... I always laugh to myself when that happens.... go figure.... a medication that actually works.... anyway, don't take the slips to hard....... enjoy the day!
Hi I am only on day 1 of quiting But I have been taking Chantix for 8 days now. Yesterday was suppose to be my quit data but last night had trouble sleeping after a whole day without cigs. I took 2 puffs and the cig had no effect on me no relaxed feel nothing in fact it smelled bad to me like I was justing smoking smoke ; so after 2 puffs I thew it away. I have 2 cigs left out of a pack I may keep them for some stupid reason but I am not going to buy a new pack. I may slip up and use them for habit but why with chantix i do not feel the need. So I say for now slip ups are not bad just never go out and buy a new pack
Angelia, I did on my first attempt with Chantix. Had a issue with my dog and next door nieghbor so I just lit up. This is my second time on the Chantix and hopefully this will be the charmer!! Good Luck and Keep up the great work!!
Well, I haven't had anymore slips. I am finding the "CRAZY CRAVINGS" are all but gone, I still get a little twinge from time to time, but nothing I can't handle. Just started my 5week of Chantix.
I went cold turkey on day 10 day nine was almost a complete day but I took two puffs to relax for sleeping and the cig had no effect on me . So the next day I got rid of all ashtrays and cigs Chantix will let you know what day is good someone else I know quite on day 12. Once again Chantix will pick a day between day 7 and 14 for you just keep smoking until your brain on chantix tells you no!!!!! You should already be smoking less ???
I went cold turkey on day 8 just like they said. I am finding the "GET QUIT" program they offfer a great resource. The morning emails and activities are good, but the check in calls in the evening are even better, It makes you accountable for your slips and a pat on the back if you don't.
Thanks... I know what you mean "the simplier pleasures" but it's really not a "pleasure" anymore. I am almost through my 5th week. Coffee used to be a big trigger for me, I could drink 3/4 of a pot, but now I barely drink 2 cups. I just haven't had the want, and I was just over at my neighbor's house who smokes and I never even though about it.
I just started day uuummmmmm..... 17 I think. My problem is that my trigger is work..... I am self employed and can smoke as much as I desire......... but, when I'm at home I rarely smoke any. I have noticed though that I can "smell" people that smoke and am like...... dang it I must stink. lolzzzzzzz So I guess it's kickin in, slowly but surely.
I also own my own company and smoked a lot at work and not as much at home. Has chantix put your mind in a fog so your business decisions become slower and maybe not as sharp. Has your production or the things you did throughout the day slowed down? Do you need to take a nap because you are so tired? Has anyone experienced this? It is worth it for a while as long as I beat this habit
Wow, I never even looked into that program............. and they call you at night? They would stay pissed with me.... it was a slow, rainy day yesterday and Ismoked a whole freakin pack........ of course I probably would have smoked close to three packs before I started chantix...... have to check that out though...... tanx!!
I have noticed that if I intend on staying up late at night I need to wait to take the second pill until just before bed........ but no brain fogs.... actually the only bothersome side effect I have had was on the second day and that was gingivitus...... my gums were actually swollen, painful and bleeding....... I never experienced that before so I googled it and found it was one more side effect not mentioned in the chantix pamphlet. I would have quit chantix then but it was better the following day and completely gone the next. I must admit, that made me rather dubious of this drug in the beginning and in looking around the net a little you'll find dozens of side effects people have from it. But like you say... worth it in the long run....... now........ Dang it.... all this typing is making me wanna slip!!!!!!!! I really love this group........... forgiving and all............ lolzzzzzzz
