When did you quit on Chantix??

[bcp (Premo)]

I started chantix the first week of August 07.
I basically put down the smokes on august 11 and over the next week and a half while on vacation I smoked about 10 cigarettes. When I got back from vacation I bought a pack out of habit, smoked one, put one in my car just in case, and gave the rest of the pack away.

I have not purchased a pack since then, and I have not smoked since then. I still have the cigarette that I put in my car, its now rolled at the end to keep the dry tobacco from falling out, and it is taped together because it broke.

I still have some pretty strong cravings from time to time and at certain times it would take very little to get me to light up again.

good luck with the quiting, If I can do it, anyone can,

Did you have any side effects? A coworker took it and he had very vivid dreams to the point where he had to quit taking it. I have it, but I have not started using it for that reason.

I had the vivid dreams, but it was more a bonus than anything else, I cant ever remember getting that much action from so many different models before... but I digress.......

it was however a serious problem coming off of the chantix, I would almost say it was worse than quitting cold turkey, but by that point I refused to go back to smoking so I just dealt with it.

Today is day 13 for me. I have smoked 4 cigs today and only have about 3 hours until I go to bed. When I do light one, I only smoke about half. It is hard to believe I can do this when 13 days ago I was smoking a pack or a pack and a half a day.

I think in a couple of days, I will be quit for good.

Congratulations to all that have quit!
