Has anyone tried the new RX Chantix to quit smoking?!


Question:

Has anyone tried the new RX Chantix to quit smoking?

My doctor suggested this medication for me as i am a heavy smoker (yes i know i should be ashamed). I have tried many times and several different ways to quit but as of yet i have not found anything that works for me, and i am motivated and ready but that nicotine just bites me in the *** everytime. My problem is it cost $150 for a months supply and i live on a fixed income. i just wanted to know if anyone has had any success trying this RX.

p.s Please no dirty answers, I am serious


Answers:

If you're motivated then Chantix would be good for you. I took it for almost 3 months (starting last October) and I quit smoking on day 8. Chantix did a great job on getting rid of the physical cravings. The behavioral side isn't helped by the medicine so that's where the motivation comes in.

There are a few side effects that appear to be rather common. Upset stomach, trouble sleeping and weird dreams seem to be the majority.

For me the upset stomach only lasted about 30 minutes after I'd take the medicine. It wasn't pleasant but I figured it was a small price to pay. The weird dreams continued for me the entire time I took the medicine.

You'll do great on the medicine! You might have a hard time affording it but after a couple of months just think about all of the money you'll be saving in the future.
