stop smoking pill

My father has been a smoker for more than 30 years and is going to start taking Champix the stop smoking pill. Anyone take this before? Have any success stories with it? And also how long should u take it for? It comes in a 2 week dosage so after 2 weeks is it supposed to work or should u take it again? Please any helpful tips for champix to be successful would be great!! Thank u so much!

Hi! I've been smoking for 19 years and tried Chavix last year for one solid month. Now- it did work- I did not smoke. However, I gained 15 pounds and became very depressed and beyond angry. My mood swings were insane and I took it out on anyone in my path. I finally realized it was the Chavix and stopped for a week- I went back to normal and do not recommend it to anyone. What did work for me was going to a hypnotist. I know it sounds crazy but they put you in a relaxed state and after a few sessions you quit without wanting to kill anyone or gaining weight.

www.squidoo.com Stop smoking is really HARD. But With FinalSmoke quit smoking program, your current cigarette will be your final smoke. Sound like ...

I have smoked since i was 16 yrs old now 45 what are the side effects

I took Chantix from October through December of last year. The main side effects I had included upset stomach and weird dreams. The upset stomach only lasted for about 30 minutes after taking each dose of Chantix and towards the end of week 1 whenever I'd smoke. The weird dreams lasted the entire time I was on the medicine.

A coworker also took Chantix and he reported the same side effects.

I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day (more if I went to the bar) and I haven't had a cigarette since October.

Good luck quitting!

Price: $2.99

please, only answers from those who've tried it. i want to know how it effected you and what kind of side effects occured.

it helped me quit after forty years. it still takes a lot of will power but i think its a miracle drug and many of my friends and family have also had success. the only side effect i noticed was i dreamed more. you have to want to fight the addiction and this drug makes it much less frustrating

My doctor put me on Novo-Bupropion Sr last year, he said it was the same as Zyban and non addictive, I used it and i quit smoking for about 8 months and then I started smoking again. I am trying to use it again to stop smoking but it just does not seem to work as well as the first time. Is there a stronger form of this 150 mg pill or something different that works better to help me quit the smokes again?

Chantix. A lot of my friends that have quit used this med to help and said it was easier than any other med they tried.

I have just started taking Chantix and I am about a pack a day smoker give or take. I want to be successful with this for good. I have 5 children and a husband who smokes who has just began to take Chantix as well. My biggest concern is that we will be able to quit, but what happens after we stop taking Chantix? My husband quit for 5 years before! I am tired of feeling like a horrible mother, a social outcast and hiding my habit from people in my life. Not to mention sick and tired of the cost of smoking in itself. My husband agrees and feels the same. I just want to hear from someone out there they have been successful off of Chantix who started with Chantix. Anyone??????

Hi, there! You're a wonderful mother - instead of just giving in, you're trying to fight! That's a great trait!

I am on Day 6 with Chantix, quit completely today (and it was rather easy I must say). Here's the blog of my quit: http://chantixquit.blogspot.com

I know people who are successful for more than 6 months. You can find the link on my blog, one of the recent posts called "My Support Group." It's a forum for people who quit smoking, and there are plenty of people who quit with Chantix and are still quit for over 6 months.

We'll beat the addiction, once and for all! Best of luck to you!
