My doc offered me a drug that you only take for a short time, and it actually makes cigs revolting to you. I know it is very expensive, but have any of you tired it and does it work. It would sure save me lots of money monthly, not to mention my health. Also what is the name of it?
Yes, I used it after 15 years of smoking I have been smoke free for 3-1/2 months. The cravings are gone. It is worth every penny and more!!!!!
Chantix is the name

I'm NOT looking for WebMD type information about the drug, but rather, what success and failure there has been among people who have tried it. Also, did you use it in conjunction with anything else, e.g., nicotine patches.
I took Chantix from October through December of last year. The drug itself worked great for me. I had the usual side effects. When I first started taking the medicine I'd get an upset stomach for about a half hour afterwards and towards the end of week 1 I started to feel ill whenever I'd smoke. During the first week or two I also had problems sleeping but that went away. The entire time I took Chantix I had really weird dreams. Not nightmares or anything, just very vivid.
I quit smoking on day 8. I was expecting there to be a magical moment when I wouldn't want a cigarette anymore. That didn't happen as I woke up on day 8 with half a pack of cigarettes. I continued to smoke them but once they were gone then I just never bought an other pack.
Chantix does a great job at blocking the physical addiction but you still must overcome the behavioral side of things. I waited almost 2 months to have any alcohol because I knew that would act as a trigger. I changed my habits in the car (bringing celery, carrots, or a straw with) and making sure to play music that I could sing along with to keep me occupied. When it came to driving I was a chain smoker so that was probably the hardest part to overcome.
As to using nicotine patches or nicotine gum while taking Chantix, save your money. The chantix somehow "blocks" the brains receptors from registering or taking in the nicotine. Use of a nicotine product while taking Chantix wouldn't help. You'd be wasting your money.
Good luck quitting! I haven't smoked in 8 months.

Study Counters Warnings on Quit-Smoking Drug - Health News ...
FRIDAY, Oct. 2 (HealthDay News) — The smoking cessation drug varenicline (Chantix) does not increase the risk for self-harm or depression , according to a new British study.
In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandated that the drug carry a “black-box warning” on its packaging, indicating that people who use it face increased risk for “serious neuropsychiatric symptoms,” including changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts and behavior and attempted suicide.
In the new study, British researchers analyzed database information on 80,660 men and women, ages 18 to 95, who were prescribed a smoking cessation product between September 2006 and May 2008. Prescriptions were for varenicline, the antidepressant bupropion (Zyban) or nicotine replacement products, such as a patch, inhaler, gum, tablet or lozenge. People were followed through the period of the prescription and for three months after the date of their last prescription.
