Has anyone taking Chantix to help them quit smoking? And how was your experience while taking it.? -
I read some scary stuff on line about this drug Know I-m not sure if I want to take it.So I figured I would ask to see what other peoples experience was while taking this I tried Zyban before and had bad side effects with it got the gitters really bad while on it.
i,ll date my self, i smoked for 49 years . started chantix 5 mo. ago . have smoked 3 since i-ve been on chantix . i don-t get around a lot of people that smoke ,so it is easier for me . stopping chantix this mo. always take them after eating some thing . don-t wash them down with soda . the re son i quit is i saw a xray of my lungs .--------good luck .have had no bad side effects
Both my parents took Chantix and both have had different experiences.
My mom took it, and felt agitated, naseous, and wasn-t able to quit.
My father took it and felt happy, healthy, and hasn-t had one in almost a year.
It all depends on the person I guess. Everyone reacts differently, especially if you are currently taking other types of medication regularily.
A friend of mine tired it and stopped after a couple days. He ended up quitting cold turkey. I have tried to quit and I couldn-t do it that way. I tried the nicotine patches which I actually liked a lot, but I was living with roommates that smoked and it was like a bonding experience to go out on the balcony and talk and smoke so I blew it.
