I have been smoke free since week 2 and so far being off the medicine hasn't increased my cravings. I came down with the flu last week and while I was running a fever I had severe repeating dreams. I would wake up with my heart racing and just mad at the world. That lasted 4 days and the anxiety got worse everyday. I just felt like I was having a personality melt down. I am still very jittery and just in a pissy mood. So I hope I've been on it long enough as I haven't had a craving for at least 2 weeks. I was glad to see on these blogs that other people have had these feeling also as they are not mentioned in the side effects.

My doctor instructed me to stay on it for 10 days before my quit date. Yesterday I only had 4 and was pretty comfortable. I am used to 25 to 35 per day!! I feel ready for my quit day which is coming in 3 days. My husband of 17 years is also on Chantix, but not doing as well as I am. I'm concerned that if I am able to stop and he isn't that it will cause a rift between us. Wish me luck or better yet prayers.

Not prefect but by far the best solution ever. I've quit smoking. Now I need to get rid of the gum/sweets. Chantix is marvellous. Not prefect but by far the best solution ever. I’ve quit smoking.

Nearly everyone from one smoking cessation session went on to smoke again within a day to weeks. Also is must be made clear that qiutting all at once as they suggest can have some quite serious effects eg depression and anxiety leading to other symtons which  are equally unpleasant.See your doctor first I suggest.
