Anyone tried Chantix - stop smoking pill?

Question

Has anyone tried this to stop smoking? And if so, did it work? Any crazy side effects? Any comments, suggestions, or anything that you could give me would be great. I just got a prescription today.

Answer 1

Always a good indication - are pilots allowed to take the medication and still fly?

It has been linked to more than 3000 reports of problems including suicides, heart trouble and aggression, according to a new study by the non-profit Institute for Safe Medication Practices that sparked the Federal Aviation Administration review.

They banned it. Would you trust it?

Answer 2

I know two people who used it. One person had success with it. She said she didn't have any cravings or bad side effects.

The other said she had horrible nightmares, stopped taking it, and is smoking again.

Hope it works for you!

Answer 3

I have not had any personal experience with Chantix but with what people say at Yahoo answers I wouldn't go near the stuff. The side effects I have read so far include: headaches, nausea, stomach pains, mood swings, bad temper, feelings of depression and nearly everyone says they suffer from nightmares. Most people suffer from one or more of these side effects.

I truly believe that to quit smoking you need to deal with your psychological addiction before your physical one.  As soon as I dealt with my psychological reasons for smoking I quit, first time and more importantly for good.

Quitting smoking does not require any patches, gums, herbs or drugs. These methods are expensive, time consuming, potentially harmful and simply do not work. All that is required is a bit of motivation, self belief and determination.

If you still choose to use Chantix than please do a lot of research first.

Yes, my son in law. He didn't quit and the side effects were HORRIBLE!!! Please try something else, and not Welbutrin, they have the same side effects.
