What is it about chantix that is suppose to help you quit smoking? -
I have just started the program i am in day 2 and still smoke the same. I have heard that it makes you not want to smoke. has anyone used this and did it work?
It sounds stupid whatever it is. The patch works the best from my experience. Just have a lot of hard candy around for whenever you feel the need to smoke. The first few days are the worst.
chantix is about the same as welbuterin, they arn-t worth a crap. they mainly use those drugs in mental health
Chantix blocks the nicotine receptors in your brain, which in turn renders the body-s need for nicotine to come to a grinding halt.
If you intend to succeed with the program, READ THE DIRECTIONS IN THE STARTER PACK!!!
The right way to do this is to begin taking the medication a week before your decided -quit date-. This allows the medicine to begin working. You may find you lose your desire to smoke within that first week (I did after 5 doses), but you may not.
You will find that after the last cigarette you smoke, you will have urges and a bit of craving, but they will be minor and fleeting. Know your triggers so you can know the urge will pass. My triggers were the urge to smoke:
After meals.
When I have a cup of coffee.
Getting into my car.
When my smoking friends come over (but the smoke itself doesn-t bother me, interestingly enough).
Realizing smoking was a way to take a mental break from a task was helpful, too.
Use the resources the drug company provides. The-s a 24-hr hotline to call if you have any problems, even if it-s just your urges.
Good luck!
Well, first of all, Chantix is not a ripoff - it is an alternative for those who can-t use the patch, or who don-t need or want the additional nicotine the patch puts into your system 24-hours a day. Chantix has an 800 number and a support line. That information comes with the Chantix pack. Why are you still smoking if you are using Chantix? If you think it-s magical and will MAKE you quit, you are so wrong. Nothing but you can make you quit. You either want to quit or you don-t. If you do, then Chantix will help. If you don-t then nothing will help.

Chantix is supposed to produce chemical effects in your brain similar to what smoking does.
I read that it-s basically a ripoff, unfortunately. From what I-ve read about the pharmaceutical industry it seems quite plausible they-d cheat on the testing and rush it to market to make money.

It-s supposed to block the impulses from your brain that control the addiction or something close to that.It-s believed they-ll have something like it for alcohol addiction sometime soon.
