Audrey, I'll be watching to hear how it's going for you. I start my last box this week (so four weeks to go) and am already getting anxious both about and *to* get off it already. Please keep us posted about how going off the drug affects you (if at all)!

Deb, I'm glad that Chantix has worked well for you. Other methods have worked well for other people. There are a lot of successful people on this site who used patches, gum, hypnosis, or plain old cold turkey, but the one thing all successful quitters do is this: Never Take Another Puff. It's the only sure method.

:) Hi and welcome to the SSC Chantix is a magic bullet for stopping smoking (my opinion...lol) It's not available in Canada yet. A Doctor has to prescribe it. You can find information on the internet...all about it. I honestly believe the statistics for success are much higher than what they say. I think everyone on this site has been successful with it. You take it about a week before you stop smoking. It makes your brain forget about smoking (basically). It cost me ...less than what I would have spent on cigaretts (some say it is expensive. Some insurances cover, but many do not. If you know anything about Wellbutrin or Zyban...you might compare it to that....but they are like sugar cubes compared to the Chantix...it works! You just need to follow directions.Read some posts...use Chantix in the search field to pull up some old post on it. ;)auntdeb [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 83 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,177 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $394.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Hi Storyteller Nice post. I am also a Chantix user. Chantix is only a miracle pill if you want it to be. It has helped me tremendously. So for me it is a miracle pill. Without it I probably would never had made it this far. Although I feel that part of this quit is what you make of it. If you try and stay positive and look at this quit in a positive way, you can make it easier. If you constantly look at the negative side, it may very well bring you down. And isn't that what the demon inside wants us to do. FAIL. I refuse to let him win! I want this quit to be a positive experience in the end. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 33 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 841 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $165 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Here's my take from personal experience. Chantix is a bit of a wonder pill. Taking it (if it's appropriate for you) can make it so much easier to actually quit and get through the first few days. BUT (and I know this, since it's my second go round since starting the Chantix) if you don't want to quit more than you want to smoke AND if you are not prepared to handle the triggers and cravings and change your habits and lifestyle as needed, then you prob won't be successful for too long. So, Yes, Chantix is amazing to get you started, but it's not enough to keep you going by itself. You still have to work at it, as much as with any other method. Just my 2 cents.

My first post folks so bear with me as I desire to respond to many that have posted in this topic. First my history as a smoker, started at 14 years old and now have quit at 50...35 years continuous as much as 2-3 packs a day. I have tried every possible quit therapy out there and have failed many times.... Now I do want to make a disclaimer here - I am NOT trying to promote chantix - I DO NOT consider it a magic bullet.....And in fact I beleive ANYONE considering taking chantix only do so after they have had a COMPLETE medical checkup and know what CAN happen to certain people. At the minimum, get the complete physicians disclosure statements on the med, know what it does and know the possible side effects. Chanitx has worked for me, but not just becuase it is an aid, but I was emotionally ready to quit. I WARN everyone to NOT fool around with this drug and make sure they know all about it, It has been at times a great ride for me and at times almost took my life. Chantix works by tricking your mind that it has recieved nictone by taking nicotines place in the receptors of your brain that normally have nictone and which releases small amounts of dopamine that make you feel fewer cravings. BUT chantix does not have anything to remove the physical or emotional or behavioural parts of nicotine addiction. The problem I had with chantix was there was a lot of physical and emotional problems going on in my body that the nicotine and other chemicals in the smoke were covering up. My first 2 weeks after quitting I was on a great high, my life was fantastic and everyting was grand, no smokes, a few pieces of NRT gum a day and life was great, fantastic technocolor dreams then wham a major traumatic stressfull event happened in my life and all of a sudden I was having multiple panic attacks, couldnt sleep at night, couldnt stay awake during the day. My doc put me on some valium, which settled me down and i was stable again...then all of sudden i am now back to sleepless nights, cant stay awake and this time depresson settling in and getting worse. My depresson got to the point that one night I sat down and bawled and considered myself a worthles person and if there had been a shotgun or enough dope in my house I wouldnt be here writing this.

Members, Chantrix has brought upon many questions within The SSC. It is best at this time to refer to your doctor or your pharmacist for further information. We do allow discussions on medications and NRT's, but if the thread becomes more of a "promotional thread" then we will have to stop the discussion. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our moderators in our feedback section found at the bottom of this page. Respectfully, Melanie ______________________________ The SSC Support Team
