I started smoking when I was 13 and I am not 23. I have been smoking about 1 1/2 packs a day for 5 years now. I did not even want to quit nor did I believe I could ever be successful, but I began taking the pill just to make my parents quit bitching at me.

About 1 week into taking Chantix, I had the urge to just stop smoking. And I did. It has been 6 months and I have not had 1 cigerette. Chantix gave me the strength to stop, and the ability to not start back up. I recommend this for anyone and everyone.

I am 62 and have smoked 1 1/2 pack/day since college. I have the early signs of COPD in addition to a small brain aneurysm. I have to quit. Today is my 10th day on Chantix. This is my third day without a cigarette. Urges come in waves but are manageable. The first day of taking the drug, I felt very strange, sort of like I was outside of myself...weird.

This is my third day without a cigarette. Urges come in waves but are manageable. The first day of taking the drug, I felt very strange, sort of like I was outside of myself...weird. It only lasted the day. On ocassion a bit of nausia but that is probably due to my eating habits. I have not been anxious or depressed. I have had some wierd dreams...no nightmares. Gas has been a bit of an issue. So far...so good. I am motivated and my fingers are crossed.

About 8-10 years ago, I was smoking just shy of a pack a day and really NEEDED my nicotine. I started Chantix and it was a breeze to stop after day 7, the cravings were gone.

About 8-10 years ago, I was smoking just shy of a pack a day and really NEEDED my nicotine. I started Chantix and it was a breeze to stop after day 7, the cravings were gone. I cont'd Chantix for another 2 wks (3 wks total usage) but quit because I felt free of smoking. I was smoke-free for 3 years, then started back. I read these reviews of aweful side effects and I can't relate because it was opposite for me. I felt happier and no anxiety which was an improvement for me while taking the drug. After I quit Chantix, I still felt good, but missed the "total bliss" feeling I got on the drug. I've been smoking a pack a day for the past 3 years and I'm going to start Chantix again. In the past, I've tried cold turkey, the patch, and the gum - all with zero success - made me edgy. I've tried hypnosis and quit immediately, it worked great, but I started again a couple years later, went back 2 more diff. times, and each time it lasted even less - 1 year, then only 3 mths. Chantix was the easiest, long lasting, and made me feel happy both during treatment and afterwards. The sight or smell of cigs grossed me out in just after a week of taking it. I'll be back to review after I start taking it again. Good luck everyone.

I am near the end of the 2nd month taking Chantix and I have never felt better! I smoked for 38 years and went from smoking 2 packs a day down to 1 pack on week 2 and by week 6 I wasn't smoking at all. That's when it seemed to really kick in for me. I never experienced any strange dreams or change in personality. You have to really want to quit though for Chantix to work!
