User Reviews for Chantix Continuing Month Pak oral

Quit smoking 9 months the first time I tried this medication. Worked well with no side effects. Unfortunately, a night of drinking and some bad news, had a cigarette and was back to smoking.

I've been smoking a pk a day for 14 years, after 4 days I went down to 2 cigs a day and after 1 full week I quit completely, The nausea is the only part I have to fight through immediately after taking it for an hour or so. But otherwise after 1 month the habit of smoking is the only thing you have to break and learn to ignore, physical withdrawal didn't happen at all, no irritability, in fact when paired with a prescription of Prozac my mood improved tremendously. Id recommend giving it a try!! Read More Read Less

Reduced cigarettes from 3/4-1pk a day down to 5-6 cigarettes a day.

Iam 25 years old and have been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day since i was 14.. im on day 8 of Chantix and have not smoked in 3 full days.. days 1-5 i smoked maybe 2 cigarettes, THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! my lungs were so bad my Dr had told me i have the lungs of a 60 yr old who had been smoking for 20 years.. i can breathe better and my cravings are gone! and so is that smokers cough! on my way to being the healthy young women i should be! THANK YOU CHANTIX!

Horrible side affects! Violent nightmares, anger issues! Of would rather get lung cancer than to go through this again! It cost me, my marriage! DONT RISK IT!!!

I was bat crap crazy on chantix!! It was a combination of withdrawal and lunacy. I had to stop on day #6 because I thought I was going to have a mini stroke. It is now day #5 without it and flu like symptoms linger. I don't feel the need to smoke but Feel it has done some damage internally. I would never recommend Chantix!!

2 years smoke free after taking Chantix ....best thing I ever did for myself!

I have smoked for 6 years, tried to quit cold turkey, and tried the gum/patches. I told my sister that if they ever came out with a magical pill to make you quit smoking, I would take it. Sure enough, chantix did the trick and I'm nicotine free. I had to start eating breakfast to take the pill because it will upset an empty stomach. Other than that, not one side-effect. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone trying to quit. It did take me 3 weeks, but it was well worth it.

Another update! Quit smoking with Chantix on 11/11/2011, almost 19 months and still smoke free. Health wise, I feel so much better. This drug has some side effects, but the benefit far outweighs the side effects. Good luck & good health to you! :-)

It has worked extremely well. I am so happy now that the torment of tobacco is over!

After smoking for 20yrs. I was able to stop smoking on the 8day of taking the medicine. I do have the side effect of feeling tired in the morning but thats it. I would hjghly recommend this to anyone.I have people tell e that I look healthier. I dont miss the smell. Now when i get around someone that smokes. I say to myself "wow I used to smell like that"

only bad thing has been bad dreams

Took for a long time (three years) and kept on trying. Finally combined with Wellbuterin/ butoprophen and had great results. Chantix helped with the physical and the anti-depressant helped with the psychological. Today I have been smoke free for one year after 44 years of two packs a day. I was lucky; my only side-effect was vivid dreaming.

Another 8 week update, now I am 4 months smoke-free.Quit taking the chantix on Feb.2. Let me tell you, I am so grateful this medicine. I will never ever smoke another cigarette. That is a wonderful feeling to say that!

I was a smoker for over 29 years. With Chantix my craving for a cigarette is gone. I do tend to aggitate easily but no aggression, my worse problem right now is not being able to sleep. Overall happy I am smoke free. Thanks

It caused severe anxiety, twitching and did not work in any way.

This is a follow-up to my other review. I started Chantix on Oct 8th and had my last cig on Oct 19th. I am 12 1/2 weeks smoke-free. I am also off the Chantix as of Dec 31st, after completing 12 weeks of the med. On the last week of the med, I cut back to only one tab in the morning and then cut it in half for the last 4 days. I basically weaned it back the way I started it. Sometimes I forget how huge it is to say I don't smoke. I am forever grateful to have been able use this medication. I do have cravings sometimes but it's not strong enough to make me undo 12 1/2 weeks. Thank the Lord above. Good Luck to anyone trying this and PLEASE stay with it, you can do it and it's worth it. YOU are worth it. Read More Read Less

Started Chantix 8 weeks ago & quit smoking on the 1st day instead of continuing to smoke for 2 weeks. I have smoked for 40 years and was up to 3 packs a day, thats 9 cartons a month at $46.00 a carton, costing me $414.00 a month, almost $5,000.00 a year. I was a serious smoker and loved to smoke more than anything. The cost of cigarettes drove me to quit smoking.I have tried hypnosis,nicoderm patch & cold turkey, after 2/12 weeks, I would give in to the cravings and start smoking again. Side effects have been minimal with Chantix. Gas,gas & more gas, some constipation & very vivid dream. I have found that by taking Chantix every 12 hours & after eating something, works well for me. I have experienced no nausea or depression while taking Chantix. I can breath so much better, food tastes so good & I smell better. I really cannot stand the smell of smoke now, it really stinks, only after a few days of quitting. If you really want to quit, talk with your Dr. about it. Stoping now will add years to your life and money to your pocket! If I can quit, anybody can. Good luck to you and God Bless.Read More Read Less

I am almost 4 weeks into med. I have been smoke-free for 2 weeks today! Rough start at first with nausea but I eat before I take it now and problem solved. I do have silly dreams and I am a little tired/sluggish but otherwise I feel great. I smoked a pack a day for 30yrs. For me, this medication has been a blessing. I am now running and completed my 1st 5k recently. I HIGHLY recommend this med. But it can have serious side effects so please discuss all that with your doctor if you are considering it. Also, there is a well of info that comes with the med, read it carefully. Good luck and I hope it helps others as it has me. Read More Read Less
