HI ALL ...I AM BACK AND THINKING ABOUT TRYING CHANTIX

Well........I am on day 11 of the chantix......still smoking....feel nauseated and tired all the time.  I am not smoking as much as I  was...seems to be slowing down to a more manageable need for them.  Hope this medication starts working more soon......

Hello cowgirlandlace,
 
Thank you for sharing with us. Although it sounds like you have been experiencing some difficulties this week know that with time this will get better. You must stay focused on your quit and protect it ever so carefully! Keep working through the program, following your quit plan and post often.
 
I am really glad to hear how helpful the site has been for you, this is what we are here for!

Well....to update you all, my friends, I have had a rough go of it this week......Flat tire my first day of work.....got sent home early 2 days to save on labor....and today I had to call out to take the blue pill from chantix cause I was aftaid of how it would affect me.  Both my ears are stopped up...dont know why...and I am feeling a little dizzy...other than that everything is going well.  I just hope my new  job understands how important this quit is to me and wont fire me for calling out.  I am very pill phobic....so for me to call out to continue this journey was necessary.  I am on my 8th day of chantix and still smoking.....but not enjoying it as much as I did.  I am also following the chantix help web site as well.  I have found this site to be the most helpful...over the chantix one.  I appreciate you all more than you know!!

I am on my 3rd pill........3rd day of taking chantix.  I survived last night with minimal side effects although I was at home.....I start a new job tomorrow...scared to death as I battle with panic attacks.   Please keep me in your prayers..........thanks

I am on my second day of chantix....had a rough evening last night...had very bad anxiety..which I already suffer from panic attacks..and it has made them alot worse.  I felt out of body....and not real....i call the pharmacy and they told me to wait and see how it goes today and contact my physician when i am able.  I am not sure that my phobia of taking and pills has caused me the anxiety or if it really is the chatix making my anxiety and panic attacks worse.  I am supposed to start a new job on Monday....and am having trouble believing i am ready to start that with my panic attacks....does anyone know anything about what i am feeling or can give me some advice??
