427279 tn?1210919821 I have taken it twice now, The dose is for one body type fits all so I cut the pills in half drink LOTS of water at least some food and take gas x for bloting, which gets better. I did not get the vivid dreams some have but I did not take the full dose I stopped smoking without trying by week 3 it was amazing. Unfortunatly I got so sleepy not sure if it was the chantix heard others said it was I had to go off it and yeap right back at smoking.
Avatar f tn I am a smoker and just quit last week and I am now in my 9th week of pregnancy. I cut down gradually from a pack a day to less then half a pack to less then 5 a day to 1 a day and now I am not smoking at all. You're much better off then I was. I have heard that it is best to quit smoking if you can but cutting down is good especially if it will cause you less stress then quitting cold turkey. The sooner you quit the less regrets you will have after the baby is born.

Avatar f tn I am on my third week of Chantix. I now feel dirty all the time - I have to take 2 or 3 showers everyday. I was not like this before. It's not my shampoo or soap. It is driving me crazy. I also don't want to do anything, constant head fog, slight headaches. Could I cut the 1mg in half and see what that does? Has anyone else had this problem as strange as it is?
444932 tn?1273980797 t listed as a side effect. I had itching also but mainly my nose and scalp. I had finished taking Chantix by then so I didn't think to blame it on that. You said that you were having headaches a few days ago. Have those subsided? I'm sure this will go away soon so hang in there. If it continues you can always write to them. The website is Chantix.com. Good luck on your quit and stay focused.
Avatar f tn Chantix is a double edge sword. Be careless and it will cut you. I never experienced anxiety in my life prior to stopping Chantix. I've been involved in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It's Chantix that scares the hell out me. So follow the prescibed instructions and treat this one with respect. It will save your life if you do.
984138 tn?1359813073 He said i can have his month and half worth but i dont think a month and half is long enough to take it. So i was going to get it prescribed to me. But before I do i was wondering if there are any rating of it from you all?
Avatar f tn I have had back pain and burning sensation in my lungs for 1month and a half now, I went to hospital they did an exray and ct scan and found no cancer or signs of anything but im still having pains. Im concerned because I have been smoking for 15 years a half pack of cigs.. what could it be if they did not find cancer on ct scan or is it beginning symptoms of lung cancer and they cannot detect it yet?

Avatar n tn Being that I too have had a partial hysterectomy 5 years ago I looked into if in fact I can still get pregnant and just fyi you can and it can be very harmful but this seems to make a bit more sense. They don't necessarily hurt just sore and can definitely tell they are a bit enlarged which is kind of nice. Much better than finding out you are pregnant. I'll take this as a side effect!
Avatar f tn Today is Thursday. I had my last cigarette on Tuesday. I am using Chantix. I have been having headaches. Almost a cluster type. Severe pain but short lived in addition to a dull ache that goes down into my neck. I am hoping it is a symtom of withdraw from nicotine and not the Chantix. Has anyone else had these type of headaches?
444932 tn?1273980797 I have been taking the Chantix for one week and 2 days now. I am still smoking pretty much as usualy, but I think I have cut down a little, but not because of any effort on my part, it's just sort of 'happening." I was so incredibly thrilled to read that you stayed on the Chantix and continued to smoke for nearly two months. When my one week was up and my quit day arrived, I just knew I wasn't ready, that it wasn't going to happen.
334876 tn?1229979296 Hi I did the chanix last year and it was a miricle but the doses are for one size fits all and I am a small person so I cut them in half and I still was able to quit for the first time in I don't know how many tries. I did have lots of gas...sorry drink lots of water and found out I was really sleepy so then I went to night time dose only. BUT I am the only person that quit taking it due to sleepiness maybe that was possible MS thing.
Avatar n tn A year ago in January I took the chantix pill to stop smoking. In March I became sick - there were days I honestly thought that I was going to die. So tired - gained tons of weight - Hard to breath at times - forgetful - loss of hair - acky joints - feet feel like they are being crushed - dry itchy skin - much more. It has now been a year, my t4 level is now at .433 I have gone from 150 to 137 and my tsh level does not seem to change much. Is there something more that we can be checking?
Avatar f tn I was taking Chantix for about a week and a half when I had to quit it because I was experiencing depression which was getting worse by the day. This is going on the 2nd full day of no Chantix but I am still feeling depressed. I want to know how long does it stay in your system for. I woke up today and felt close to normal and then it came back again.

Avatar m tn I quit smoking using Chantix as well. I am only 1 month non-smoking. I only took Chantix for 9 days as on the 9th day I found out i was pregnant. So I was non smoking and pregnant, to only two weeks later miscarry. I am not too sure if its from the hormones, or from the symptoms of not smoking, but i was extremely irritable, it was almost to the point that everything i that came out of my mouth was snappy. I developed insomnia right from the get go from Chantix.
Avatar n tn t as bad as with a CT quit. What made me strong in my resolve was that it was my time and I saw that I was able to cut back to 1 or 2 a day with the help of Chantix and if I could cut back, then why not stop all together! I will flash my free meter that I downloaded from the whyquit site: --- 2y 6d 13:24 smoke-free, 16,222 cigs not smoked, $3,893.
Avatar f tn But now I can walk around with out my legs feeling like they are on fire. I can bend over without getting dizzy. I can laugh without coughing. I dont smell like an ash tray. I had smoked since age 13 and usually smoked a pack and half a day more on the weekend. My parents smoked so becoming a smoker was easy. I try to tell people what has changed and they always refuse to believe thier symptoms are caused by smoking. I have dealt with addiction my entire life, at least that how it seems.
Avatar f tn I take iron and eat as well as I can but really have no appetite. Down 20 pounds in 10 weeks. I was over weight so this isn't a big problem yet.
980382 tn?1251481588 How can I do a heavy, physical job in sub zero conditions and not worsen my condition??? I really cannot see that a scarf is going to be much help. My boss is looking to me to guide him in working around the cold weather, but much as I search for relevant info on temperatures, there is little or no information that applies to outdoor employees.
Avatar f tn I also quit smoking and was on Chantix at the same time. I thought the terrible side effects were Chantix. But I still am in trouble after stopping Chantix 7 weeks ago. Pretty nuts, a change from smoking 40 years, Effexor, Chantix, and Prozac. Should I quit every drug and start over?

Avatar n tn Thanks but, the Chantix reference was just an example, I never took Chantix, but learned about it's side effects during my research
