The prescription here for Chantix was $116 but my insurance paid all but $30.00. I don't think that was bad at all. I have found that I don't have the urge as much. Really liking how it works so far. I didn't feel nausea this morning. Yeah!! Maybe it passed and I won't feel it anymore.

Stick with it!You can do it!

I quit 4 years ago with determination,it was hard!I didnt realize how bad it smelled.I still get an urge sometimes.My mom tried Chantix a few months ago,shes still smoking,I dont think she was ready.I wish she would quit it will be 1 year in June since she had surgery for lung cancer.She also lost a brother and a sister since May 2006 d/t lung cancer,so I think she felt like she should quit,just not for her!I do know 2 people that swear by Chantix.Just do it for yourself and dont give up even if you have a setback it is an accomplishment.GOOD LUCK!!

Today I ran into a teacher that I used to work with and she said that she has not had a cigarette for 6 weeks since she started taking chantix. I never even heard of this pill until this thread was started. Is it something relatively new?

Good luck Gina, if anyone can do it you can....let me know how your doing on it...

Lexi Rae · 04-13-2007, 04:06 AM

I've been smoking (killing myself) for 10 years and finally decided that I wanted to quit. My doctor prescribed Chantix and it worked. I stopped smoking completely after the second day with no drawbacks or nicotine attacks. It definately works and takes very little willpower. I do admit that it made me very nauseaus though.

Lexi Rae · 04-13-2007, 05:40 AM

im waiting for the nausea,, when did it happen.? after how many days of
taking it???? just want to prepare myself...im on the 6th day.
thats great stopping after the second day.. congrats

iloveclyde · 04-13-2007, 05:42 AM

It started about two weeks into taking chantix. Good luck, I know you can do it.

JCarlson2004 · 04-13-2007, 05:56 AM
