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 n tn If I could do it all over again, go back to 21 and redo all those years........ What a smart person you are and congrats on recognizing the habit and the hold it's got on you and wanting to do something about it. Do it now, while you still have some kind of emotional control over yourself. Take all of the "trigger" cigs and work on those first. I also used Chantix to quit and before I stopped the Chantix I would force myself to smoke before a meal, not after.
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 Have you tried Chantix? If you have ins go to your doctor and ask him for chantix. It's a rx designed to block the nicotine receptors. You smoke while taking the med the first week and then you stop smoking, but continue the medicine. After the first week you will notice the cravings are mental but not so much physical. You can google "chantix" and you can learn more about it. I am 30 and have smoking since 12, it's the hardest habit to break.
596605 tn?1369946627 Any better today? I've been thinking about you; read a few more posts on Chantix side effects, and if you still feel that deep fatigue, I would quit the Chantix immediately!...and most especially if you have any kind of emotional issues (I don't mean to assume) as Chantix can exacerbate them. There are many other quit aids to choose from if Chantix turns out to be not right for you.
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.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your nice post. I've been on chantix for a week and a half. I have a bit of back pain too in addition to neverending nausea, so I won't be taking it after this month.
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.
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 You have more to gain than to lose, but might consider another alternative to Chantix if you consume more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. I would hate for anyone to go through what these others did. It didn't sound pleasant! Best wishes for success!
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.
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.
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....
427279 tn?1210919821 I think it really can work but if you already fight fatigue it can be a problem, I also the second round just took at bedtime and still was not smoking and I am a big smoker so.... like all meds some work for some not for others. good luck on your quest I think it is worth the try. PS I did NOT gain weight when I was on it that was great also.
Avatar f tn I would stop smoking immediately if I were you - use a patch if you need to, or ask your doctor for Chantix - it can cause some weird side effects in some people, but it can help you quit. Use an expectorant like Mucinex in case this is something in the airways - it will help clean it out, and use some Advil for a while. After a month or so you will be totally better!
Avatar f tn I am ready to quit, and noticed you said you took Chantix. would you recommend this pill? How long after being on Chantix did you actually stop smoking? I was prescribed bupropian, and wonder if maybe Chantix would be better.
1134609 tn?1269272200 Yes well stoppping smoking can have side effects and it is know that Chantix can have severe side effects including worsening the symptoms of bipolar. That's not to say it caused it though but you can ask your psychiatrist more when those issues are over and they can make a further determination.
286124 tn?1214938528 can Chantix also help with coming off of these pills? any advice will be very appreciated. I will post again to tell my story. I'm at work and wanted to ask real quick! thanks again!
