I couldn't get off it soon enough. i took it for 3 months and I did quit, but that lasted a year and a half!! i am now in the mission to stop again, but there is no way that I could take Chantix again, I think that everyone that I know would KILL me!! I don't think they liked me on it.....dont know why!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503786114516154222.post-7823180041688115002009-05-19T13:14:00.000-07:002009-05-19T13:14:00.000-07:00Hang on Tommy,hang on. It is possible to dump you...Hang on Tommy,hang on. It is possible to dump your old friend, I dumped mine in 2003 after only 138 tries. Hell, it took me two years to get off Nicorette gum after I threw my last pack in the garbage. Mr. Nicotine is a bad boy, he'll whisper in your ear "smoke one, you can handle it"...Mr. Nicotine lies and especially when his friend, Mr. Alcohol, is around. Those two rascals had me bad and, like you, I said that I ain't quitting...I'll just burn my candle to the end, both ends. But at some point you realize that you enjoy life and you want to live. That realization came to me when I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. Thankfully, after they wacked away half my sinus, the surgical biopsy came back as odontogenic keratocyst...no cancer. Since then I've had an aorto-bifemoral by-pass graft in 2005, 3x coronary by-pass in 2008 and I'm being followed annually for COPD. I'm now wishing I had quit sooner but at least I did quit and I'm still alive. I know you enjoy life and I, along with hundreds of others, want you to live. I know you have the will to do it, so do it. Being "out of sorts" is better than being "out of the game"!! Love ya guy and hang on!

You can quit if you really have made up...great !!! You can quit if you really have made up your own mind that the time is right to do it. Jim and I quit with Chantix also ... we suffered through the awful side effects for about 7 months (mostly trouble sleeping) ... but it really helped us with our smoking cravings. It worked for us and I hope it does for you as well. I definitely feel better. We have both gained a lot of weight ... but I'm hoping that we can the weight off with exercise. Jim and Steve talked about Chantix a lot while both trying to quit. Stick with it ... good luck.Nancy Fairclothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852391865214587871noreply@blogger.com
