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 Certainly it's better if you cut down on the cigarettes. Ask your OB or RE to prescribe Chantix for you. I hear it's ok to take during pregnancy and it really helps with trying to quit smoking. Know you're not a lone if you can't quit, many women aren't able to completely quick during pregnancy and the baby turns out okay. I'm not endorsing it of course, just letting you know that you're not the only that's pregnant and could just cut back.
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 Hey My dad had like a month and half of chantix left it didnt work for him well he didnt really try that hard though! But i was wondering if anyone else had tryd that? 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 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?
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!

444932 tn?1273980797 Kathy..........can you remember back to when you first began the Chantix? Did you have any weird sensations? I've begun to experience the bad dream thing, which *****, and really hope that goes away. It sort of ties into some insomnia that I am blaming on the Chantix........I used to fall asleep very fast, now I toss and turn and wake up with the dreams frequently during the night. I get these odd feelings that aren't quite like being dizzy or lightheaded, but..........something odder.
7163794 tn?1457366813 You will be. I know you can and I’m here to cheer you on. I woke up at 4/5am in the beginning also. Now I sleep very hard. The weight will come off, don’t worry! You’ve got this! Is the gum helping take the edge off?
Avatar n tn Good luck to you and I hope you find an answer quickly. If you can, will you post it here so others can learn the answer.
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 f tn Yes someone I know who used Chantix for smoking cessation got side effects from it that took a long time to go away. If you are having further concerns speak to a doctor about it and as with any medication for information on side effects both short and long term look up the medication website because they all must be listed by FDA law.
1671473 tn?1450592437 I'm a morning smoke and coffee guy.. half pack and 10 cups in a.m. while i read and watch news... I want to quit.. I'm thinking Chantix from Dr. or the Gum.. I did it before.. a few times.. short times but I did it..
Avatar f tn I know it sounds daft but he was told to try and eat a small handful of brazil nuts throughout the day they are a brill form of iron and they did seem to help. Hang in there you are doing really well. I wish you all the best for rest of tx.
980382 tn?1251481588 Place your pack in another room in a drawer. (I had put mine in the dining room breakfront.) If you do that, you will only smoke when you actually want to. You will find that, in very short order, and with no feeling of deprivation, you will have cut back by almost half. After that you start to say things like, "I will wait 15 minutes before I go for that cigarette." After a while you will forget about the 15 minutes and realize a half hour has passed. And so it goes.
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 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.
351317 tn?1204751871 The 10mg zyrtec is too strong for me so can I cut it in half and take 5mg instead?
Avatar n tn ) Seriously though, I think that this may have been a side effect listed. Are you having nigthmares along with the night sweats? Here is a number that you can call: Call 1-866-706-2400. Ask the person on the other end if it is normal. My experience with Chantix was pretty good but I stopped taking Chantix after my third quit day. All total, a month and a half, and I didn't look back. It is 4 months today and I had some severe reactions to my quit....
