984138 tn?1359813073 DON"T DO CHANTIX. My son, 19, took chantix for 3 months and the research was not done on young people. He did quit smoking but at a great risk to his health. It has been 10 months of hell since he went off the med. While on the med he has mild side effects but after many blood tests, a positive ANA and anxiety/panic attacks - he is slowly getting healthy again. We did not do our homework and the result was a very sick young man.
Avatar n tn t seem to quit for anything. Had been a 2 pack/day years ago. My dr perscribed me Chantix and I took and kept smoking, but the cravings got less and less until on Feb. 1, 2007 I took about 3 drags off a cig and put it out. That was the last one I had. Took the Chantix for a couple more weeks until the cravings were completely gone and I've been fine every since. You can take it up to 3 months.
712802 tn?1274645485 Two weeks ago, I switched from Lexapro to Savella. My doctor gave me a starter pack, which contained a 2-week titration pack, which gradually increases your dosage, allowing the body to acclimate to the new medicine. However, before starting Savella, he told me to do the following: Cut the dosage down to 1/2 of what I would normally take a day for the first week. On the second week, take Lexapro every other day. On the third week, I was to start the Savella dosage.
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 n tn 30 most days to go into work(1st job), and dont have a cigarette until noon. If I am at the 2nd job waking up at 3am, I can hold off until about 6am. My triggers: after I eat(trying to break that one), while driving(work related(2nd job), reposes cars, so the "hunt" adds to the craving as well), after arguing with friends and strangers, when adrenaline is up, drinking, while working on vehicles, and I think that's it.
Avatar f tn OK, now get you a calendar and put the amt to take on each day, even though starter pack say day#, The calendar helped me tremendously whan I started Lamictal. I crossed of each day on calendar when I took meds. Silly, But I rewarded myself with a small treat each time I completed a doseage amt for # of days, in the amt of time without stopping and starting. It is very important to do as MD for meds to be affective.
Avatar n tn It could be the Chantix or if you are female it could be menopause : ) 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.
1000946 tn?1253807847 I had been smoking cigarettes for over 20 years at a pack to a pack and half a day. I was successful with Chantix and quit, however when I found myself in a stressful situation I rebounded to smoking cigarettes. Nine years ago I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection that would not go away. I made a conscious decision to quit with Chantix again. My 2nd attempt was not as easy.
1671473 tn?1450592437 M IN THE SAME BOAT EXCEPT FOR THE HYPO THING.. BUT I BURN A PACK A DAY EASY.. AND MY COUGHING IS GETTING BAD... JUST HERE TO SAY I'M WITH YA AND BEST OF LUCK..
444932 tn?1273980797 Sorry to hear that Lina and hope you are better today. Panic & anxiety can play a major role in a "quit" and I know it well. It's a vicious circle....smoke when anxious yet smoking causes anxiety and promotes panic attacks.... In this moment, 5 months, 3 weeks and 1 day, I have not had the earlier anxiety that I had experienced, off & on, for more then a decade. That left me very early into my quit....
Avatar n tn I want to change my birth control cycle so that I never get my period on the weekends. Right now I am a sunday starter and I want to switch to be a thursday starter. Tomorrow (wednesday) I start the white pills, is it bad if I start a new pack on thursday?
950277 tn?1247274551 My mother in law went on the chantix program. She was a smoker of over 50 years. She has been on Chantix for 3months. She actually lights her smoke but does not smoke it. She does this twice daily. She really has quit. It is amazing!

178275 tn?1197824199 why u are not searching finger print Biosimilar biologics like avilable in India .....
Avatar f tn tablets in a row in week three, or if you miss three tablets in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new package on the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack of pills that same day. You may not have a period that month, but this is expected.
444932 tn?1273980797 I am now on day number 8 of taking Chantix - still smoking but have cut back. Yesterday, I started the 1 mg twice per day dose and within an hour of my a.m. dose, started itching like crazy. Benedryl gives some relief. It continued throughout the night and this morning. I do not have hives, difficulty breathing or anything like that - just itching that is driving me crazy. Anyone else had this problem with chantix?
380558 tn?1309042387 I go to my doctor on Monday and she may prescribe me the Chantix.. (As if I need any medication.. dangit! But, good thing is, it's not habit forming! :D) I definitely don't want to take something that has nicotine in it, that's for sure.. one of the main reasons I'm quitting smoking! I spoke with an RN from the American Lung Association today, and know what she told me?
Avatar n tn It IS from the Alli, have you read the pamplet that comes with the starter pack? it will explain it all. I had the same issue until I read the info packet. I guess that is why they insist on you getting the starter pack to start with(lol). You need to watch your intake of fat, the more fat you eat the more fat comes out of the other end. Fat is what you are referring to as the greesy orange stuff floating. Alli recommends not to consume more than 15grams of fat per meal.
Avatar f tn Hmmm, never thought that would ever happen! But I do no this. If I could do it then so can you. I was a 2 plus pack a day for about 35 years. It was relatively easy once I realized that I could choose to breathe or smoke but not both. With gods help, I will keep that committment for life. Merry Christmas all!
Avatar m tn I have tried cold turkey, Patches, gums and Chantix, they all didnt work for me, the Chantix put me in hospital and the doctors told me to stay away from them.. So I tried E-cigs, and now have been smoke free for 6 weeks, I started at 24mg Nicotine for the first few days, then found it too high for me, then went down to 12mg for the rest of the 6 weeks, now am dropping down to 5mg. My ecig is the Joye Ego-T, which is larger than redbulls 510 in the above post.
