Quitting Smoking - Chantix

Chantix is 'THE' bomb!

I used to smoke 20 a day.
Im in 6th day of Chantix and cant force myself past 5 puffs on a cigarette.8o Im maxing about 5 ciggies a day. No urges to smoke, it feels purely habbit, so ive started incorporating different activities in to take its place.

I have been a big time serial quitter cold turkey, patches, gum, inhalers, zyban, acupuncture, herbs, detox etc etc etc... Right now im pushing it to keep smoking for the entire week i have to be on Chantix before i quit...

Oh and all those warning in the media and shit, im bipolar and prone to being suicidal and used to self harm as a hobby. Not a single thought of it has returned. I guess im on decent mood stabilizers and i grew an emotional shield of titanium tho which probably has a lot to do with it.

That aside if u wanna quit, get Chantix do ur research and ull see that chemically u cant fail, it blocks the effects of nicotine and does the same job to a weaker extent so its not addictive. its all about if ur headstrong enough to change ur habbits.

No other quit attempt can equal this and im saying it before ive even quit. make sure ur ready to quit before u take the first pill and have ur last "cigarette that will have its full effect" before u do it. thats when it all starts.
 
my mom tried the stuff with success, she has been smoking all her life. However as soon as she stopped taking them, she started smoking again. She said while on chantix that ciggarettes smelt terrible, and that she could not even bare to light up. Pretty interesting drug....
 
I used chantix and found it to be great! My dad has been a smoker for 20 years and he quit. He is still taking the chantix, but fuck it. He can take that shit for the rest of his life. I quit for a while, but I started again. I still have half a chantix script for when I want to quit again. This shit is like the suboxone of cigs. When you take it and smoke at the same time the cigs don't do any good and just make you nausious
 
amazing

i havent been on in over 6 months, i happened to be scanning looking to see if someone was on and i saw this. i felt the need to endorse this product. i have done wellbutrine and the patch together and i quit smoking for 2 weeks. after taking chantix for 2 weeks though i didint want to smoke. after a week of 1 pill smoking was ineffectual. it was like inhaling wood or paper smoke. i didnt stop smoking because of my aquit date, i quit smoking because i was bored of it. i hear after you stop taking chantix you need to start using willpower, but till then, willpower is included in the pill! unreal!
 
i have schizoaffective disorder & manic-type bipolar. all chantix seemed to do was eliminate the rush from smoking cigs that i crave. after a few days of chantix, and without my comforting nicotine rush, i slipped into a dangerously manic mindset. i found chantix to have no effect on my desire to smoke, as i only do it when i'm feeling anxiety. without the crutch of cigs, i found myself with only 1 leg to stand on and my symptoms became a lot worse. to me, it seemed like all chantix did was make cigarettes inactive. next time i quit im going to try a gradual taper schedule....somehow, i dont see it working without replacing the nicotine with some other fast acting drug, perhaps marijuana.
 
im currently on chantix for my 2nd time, and its going a lot better. I'm down to 5 smokes a day, and i'm now able to give up my morning smoke. No depression or panic problems yet, probably due to my increased dose of SSRI. I'll post back as I progress.
 
I'm still smoking. I noticed this was from 06. Chantix didn't work for me, lozenges didn't work for me.

Now I may try chantix again, but I found something easier! An e-cigarette from ebay.

They claim a cartridge is like a pack, but I think its more like 6-8 cigarettes.
