Hi Nikki, Congrats on being smoke free! I wasn't a heavy smoker, during the week I only smoked in the evenings, but I LOVED it. I quit with Chantix in November. My advice to you would be to take the Chantix for the recommended 12 weeks. I had to quit the medicine after 4 weeks because my insurance didn't cover it and it was very expensive. I have really been craving it lately, but I"m staying strong. (The girls in chat always help and support me) So take the medicine as long as you should. I also haven't drank since I quit, the 2 seem to go together for me. It was a habit that I had to unlearn, and figure out what I was going to do in its place. I've gained 10 pounds but have started getting it back off. YOU CAN DO IT. Stay strong. Remind yourself how expensive it is to smoke. And make plans for what you will do with the money you save!!! |
Oh, forgot to add....I did get nauseous about 10 minutes after taking it. Taking deep breaths helps. It only lasted about 15 minutes for me so I was able to deal with it pretty well. |

I found that if I woke up and ate Right away Then took the meds I was ok. If I waited even a half hour I would get really sick. I also cut the dose in half and then half again. so by the 5 week I was only taking it in the morning and then only half a pill. that helped with costs too. I still have a weeks worth of meds left.. or at my reduced dose a Month LOL I tell you I Feel GREAT! :) |
I guess I was lucky. I was a little nauseous the first few days or so and then I was really sick for 4 days (like stay in bed and want to die sick) but I don't have any problems at all now. In fact a little nausea wouldn't kill me because I'm eating like a piggy.:p The only lasting side effect I've had are the dreams. All night long I dream and so I'm tired all of the time. I just finished my 3rd pack and I'm going to use the 4th but then I'm done. I'll have to use will power at that point because I'm tired of dragging all of the time. By that time I'll be smoke free for almost 2 weeks and there is no way I'd give in once I've gone that far. I love hearing all of your success stories!:) |
I am not sure if someone has mentioned this yet, but my brother-in-law said he had some really funky dreams when he was taking Chantix. He said that were not only strange, but VERY vivid! |
By the way...congrats on your decision to quit smoking! |

Sounds like the dreams from Ambien. Ambien dreams are Soooooooo weird, but I actually like it. They are so intense, I ball my hands into fists when I sleep and my pointer and birdie fingernail have started to grow deformed from sleeping with tight balled fists all night. Trippy!!!!:) |
It is so great you've gone this long, Congratulations!!!!. January 30th I will be smoke free for 5 months. There are times I still crave one, but I will never light one up. Wait till after you have quit for just a couple months and then go into a smokey restaurant or bar, it will just about gag you. I couldn't believe how bad it was. |
