Chantix has worked very well for me. As a 40 year smoker, I have quit using Chantix. The problem for me is Phizer's pricing. Since I started using Chantix the price for a prescription has gone up from $109 for a 30 day supply to over $245. Granted, I have had to use it 3 different times, over a 3 year period but that increase seems to me to be rather exorbitant. As a matter of fact, I have used it ... Show Full Comment

As a matter of fact, I have used it for the past 3 months and the original prescription cost $160 so it has gone up $90 or so in the last 3 months.

I used chantix for 30 days and quit smoking 06 Jan 2010. I had a couple of crazy dreams but was very effective. I want to thank you for saving my life. After 30 yrs of smoking I am now smoke free.

So I have been quit of cigarettes for four months now. I started using Chantix and stayed on it for about 5 weeks. I was completely quit at the end of the fourth week. Week 1 - smoked as normal. Week 2 - cut to 5 cigs per day. Week 3 - cut to 1 cig per day. Week 4 - 0 cigs per day. I even did this while my husband was still smoking. My husband got so jealous, he started taking Chantix while I ... Show Full Comment

So I have been quit of cigarettes for four months now. I started using Chantix and stayed on it for about 5 weeks. I was completely quit at the end of the fourth week. Week 1 - smoked as normal. Week 2 - cut to 5 cigs per day. Week 3 - cut to 1 cig per day. Week 4 - 0 cigs per day. I even did this while my husband was still smoking. My husband got so jealous, he started taking Chantix while I was 3 weeks into the drug. Chantix is absolutely amazing. While I had some mild side effects - bloatedness, and gassiness... a little moodiness too, my husband did not suffer from any side effects at all. I was a pack a day smoker (in NYC that is $13.00 per pack = nearly $5K per year). My husband was smoking 1 1/2 packs per day... so just the money savings helped us want to quit. There is something about Chantix that made quitting this time to be different. The WANT for cigarettes decreases. I must say that I have never felt so confident about quitting before.

I have followed the directions to a tee & have never drank alcohol while taking it. Dreams are nothing but senseless, comical..no nightmares. I've chosen to add taking Metamucil 2x a day to help prevent constipation. My doctor has told me to contact him when I begin the last 2 wks & if I feel that the 12 wk treatment has been enough, then he will begin the weaning process over that 2 wk period. Good Luck to you ..but please understand you MUST be faithful in following Chantix directions & know the side effects..if you have any emotional issues prior; I would probably find another avenue.
