Chantix - The New Smoking Cessation Wonder Pill?
Thursday June 1, 2006
Are you a smoker trying to quit, but are having trouble? Kicking the habit of smoking is a hard task and all smokers need a little help, even if it comes in the form of a pill. The newly approved smoking cessation pill Chantix may be the answer for thousands of people trying to quit.Chantix, taken in a course of 12 weeks, basically takes the "fun" and pleasure out of smoking. Smokers do not feel that rush, or sense of calmness when lighting up. Withdrawal symptoms are lessened with Chantix as well.
With minimal side effects, Chantix, along with the will to quit seem like a winning combination. Remember, when it comes to smoking, quitters do prosper!

I was on the drug study for this about 4 or 5 years ago. I can honestly say that it is a wonder pill. It may just change the smoking world as we know it. due to nothing more than pure stubborness, I continued to smoke, and have been waiting anxiously for it to be approved and released. I’ve told everyone I know about it. I begin tonight. Believe me, I’ve tried everything and Chantix makes is SO EASY to stop smoking. Within the first week or two you will notice it starting to work. Follow the rules, really do pick your quit date and stick with it. This coming from someone with NO will power whatsoever! My insurance won’t pay a dime of it. It costs about $120 per month. It is worth every penny. I wonder why Anthem doesn’t think so? They’d rather pay for chemo??
Good luck to anyone who wants to try it. You won’t need much luck, just a little resolve.
The following link is to a critical review I’ve written entitled “Will Chantix really help me quit smoking?”. We can say that Chantix plus desire are a “winning combination” but Chantix study participants enjoyed the support of up to 19 clinic visits, involving brief one-on-one counseling sessions, and seven telephone calls yet still just 1 in 5 Chantix (varenicline) users succeeded in quitting for a year. In real-world use, where quitters do not have the benefit of 26 pep-rallies from their Chantix provider, history teaches that we should expect far higher failure rates.
We all want effective nicotine dependency recovery treatment but Chantix clearly isn’t it. If Chantix works for you, fantastic! But if not, don’t get discouraged. Instead, you’d be well advised to spend time reading, learning and growing in understanding about this most amazing chemical called nicotine. What does it mean to be addicted, how does nicotine compare to other drugs of addiction and why has your brain grown or activiated millions of extra nicotinic receptors in at least 11 different regions? Knowledge truly is power.
Yes you can!

I started Chantix a week ago and I smoked for a week. This morning I took my 1st 1 mg tablet and the nausea began but I have no desire to smoke.
My insurance company paid for this prescription. I was shocked. But do shop around, I understand Costco sells it for about $100.
BTW: John Polito, Nicotine Cessation Educator, he says, is all over every blog regarding Chantix and is bad mouthing this product. He may be right but he is an extreme advocate of cold turkey cessation.
Try Chantix, I truly believe it will help those who are long-time smokers. But I do suggest going to a support group, which only helps your chances of quitting.
I will post my progress as I continue. (2 packs a day – 40 years)

today i took my first 1mg tab.word to the wise don’t be stupid like me and take on an empty stomach.the nausea was immediate.it lasted for about 10 min.i had eaten a small packet of oatmeal right after takin the pill but the nausea continued,so i ate some animal crackers and that really settled things down.best of all i don’t have the desire to smoke(at the moment).
41yrs, 2 packs a day. BCBS where I work is going smoke free. Gave us 6 months to adjust to the idea of not smoking on property. Options, quit smoking, quit work or patch during the day and smoke after hours. I call Chantix “God’s miracle gift to Carol Jean”. Only 3 people on earth knew me when I didn’t smoke. People, friends in smoking resturants, family are as amazed as I am. 4 wks and counting. “God’s miracle gift to Carol Jean” and you also. Remember, I didn’t want to quit. I would smoke til it killed me.
Chantix has been a lifesaver! Within the first three days my smoking cut in half and by the end of the first week I was a non-smoker. For years I have tried smoking cessation programs without sucess. By the third or fourth day without nicotene I felt as though I was coming out of my skin. Chantix is different — its been three weeks since my last cigarette and the desire for cigarettes is all but gone.
my ins. will cover part of the cost iwill be stating 2-1st i am worried about the nausia how bad is it and how long does it last? i would appreciate any information. thankyou dixie
Chantix is awesome. I quit 12/25/06.
I only took Chantix for 30 days total.
I feel great and haven’t smoked in almost two months. I really only had little stomach aches while taking Chantix and they were no big deal. We’ll be hearing alot about this drug in the future as more people have success with it. If you really want to quit, take it, this stuff works!!!
I am 3 days into the 2nd week. I have been a one-packer for 42 years. So far, the only significant curtailment is about 1/2 pk per day. I always eat before my a.m. and p.m. dose. However, I have had slight stomach pain and nauseau a few times. This has not been severe enough for me to stop the medication. I was a little discouraged and called the Chantix help line last weekend and spoke with one of the nurses. According to her, these symptoms are not unusual. This morning I also felt a little dizzy. Has anyone out there had this side effect? The only other time I stopped smoking was for 2-yrs cold turkey. Guess that is one reason I am a little disappointed at myself this go-round.
I only used about 1/4 of the bottle. I didn’t have any instructions. I don’t think you need any. Just take the pills as it says. Slowly in slowly out. Quit inbetween. That’s it.
I was a carton per week smoker. I started taking Chantix and have been smoke free for 46 days so far. I have no side effects from the medication. I do have some urges, but they are minimal. Its more of breaking the psychological routine of, “I just ate, now I need a cigarette” I have to say, I don’t think I could have quit without the Chantix.
