CallMeMomMom,
Hi there and I am Aunt Deb...I am on Chantix and have not had nausea!
I eat before I take the tab, and drink water or my usual morning coffee. (always eat before you take the med...even if it's just a granola bar, which I find is very helpful for constipation as well)
I take the 2nd tab after my supper before I sit down to relax in front of the TV.
I sleep like a baby, I do have dreams ...but they are the kind you need to get rest.
Mom Mom...this is the best thing I ever used to quit.
I am a 10 yr-non-smoker who relapsed during menopause like a fool.
I quit cold=turkey back then, and it is the hardest way to quit,it might be the quickest...but it is the hardest.
I tried several different NRT's to quit and couldn't do it until my daughter recommended Chantix.
my meter only shows little over a month...but "I know without a doubt, I will never smoke again".
You see, I remembered how awful those cravings were when I quit cold-turkey...and I couldn't get past the cravings with the other forms of NRT'S I TRIED...and I knew if I could just find the right thing that would get me past Hell week, and Heck week (the first and second weeks) without smoking one cigarette....I would have it licked.
"Chantix has done this for me"...and I know now when I quit using the Chantix...and I go into the blues, I will not sit around moping and going into depression, I will see my Doctor if I need to because I know now what is causing it.
But also...I have a plan. You see...I am not the person I was over a month ago. Iam now a non-smoker, I will go where smokers don't, I will do things smokers can't and I will live and enjoy life and spend new found money for things Nicodemon stole from me.
Read Allen Carr's book...I've already been there done that, but the other members highly recommend the book to understand this addiction we have and what goes along in the process of quitting.
I started smoking at age 15 (almost 16) and quit when I was in my early 30's, started back again at age 42....I am now 56.
You won't be sorry you came to this site...read, read, read and post often...Have a wonderful Happy Valentines Day and join our Valentines party...because I'm sure Phil
