What was your experience taking Chantrix's?!


Question: What was your experience taking Chantrix's.?
My hubby and I want to quit smoking and have a prescription for Chantrix's. We were told to take it for about 4 to 5 months and it will work if we want to quit - which we do, but it also states that we could have "weird" or "bad" dreams.? What was your experience taking this or how did you quit smoking.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Never took it. I've heard all kinds of good and bad. But I wanted to tell you, what I used was Nicotine Anonymous. I couldn't have done it without them.

Lots of folks there have used Chantix, too, and for some it was the only thing that did work. Take care.Health Question & Answer


I haven't used it, but I have prescribed Chantix to dozens of people.

It is the best medicine I have ever seen to help folks quit smoking.

Chantix takes away the desire to smoke.

People suddenly just don't "need" their nicotene.

It is recommended to use it for 6 months - because people who did so had the lowest rates of returning to cigarettes.

Smoking is a huge killer, as you know. It causes strokes, heart attacks, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, gum disease and tooth loss, and a zillion forms of cancer.

Some of my patients have experienced bizarre dreams, nausea, and feeling "weird" in the beginning (the first week or two).

After that, almost invariably, if they stuck with Chantix these symptoms went away.

In the words of one woman, "I would rather endure these side effects for a week or two than wish I had quit smoking while dying of lung cancer and wondering who would take care of my kids."

Intelligent woman.

Good luck!!!

Congratulations on quitting!!!!!
