Chantix Stop Smoking?!
Question:
Chantix Stop Smoking?
I have COPD and I have to stop smoking. I do not want to, but I have to. I feel that my breathing is getting worse. I use Advair and it helps tremendously. Does Chantix work? My doctor said to take it for only seven days. Do people take it for longer than one week? Someone said it makes you itch. Is this possible? Wellbutrin did absolutely nothing for me. I smoke three packs a day. I admit it - I definitely need help. I once thought they made a cigarette with no nicotine in it, but I have never seen it. I hope one of you can give me some good advice here and please let me know if Chantix really works. I understand that my insurance does not pay for it and it costs $120 for one bottle. Thank you.
Answers:
my sister-in-law used chantix and you have to be on it more than a week for it to work. What chantix does is it decreases the cravings for a cigarette. She smoked 2-3 packs/day. She quit smoking in 1 1/2 months. You have to be on it at least 3 months.
