Im sure someone on here has taken Chantix....I'm going to start on the 18th...I was wondering if it helped you quit smoking, what the side effects are...and is it worth the money....i know smoking is expensive, but i paid 110$ for a bottle of 56 pills, I"m sure that's nowhere near the price of the cigs i buy in a year but........any input would be apprectiated..

Thanks,

Ray

i have known two people to try it. one quit smoking successfully (for the last year), and the other relapsed and started smoking again.

Chantix

My Husband took Chantix and he has been smoke free for about a year & a half. The only side effect he had was bad/weird dreams. IMHO, it is well worth the money.

Good Luck to you.............KK

chantix

when i was looking into getting onto chantix my doctor and I did some research and found out that it was very expensive. I didnt have health insurance at that time and i was on suboxone at that time so i had to pay for the suboxone scripts cash and they are like between 5.75 and 8 bucks a pill depending on the qty and where you go. It was explained to me that it is a maintenance med and you could be on for a while, so for me it just wasnt going to work financially for me. I have a few friends that have 100 percent success with it, so i heard that it does work .... thats all i got

Chantix

I know two people who quit smoking using only Chantix. And no one has complained about ill effects.

In the package insert it states many people stopped taking the drug because of nausea. My friends had no problems whatsover. According to both persons, it is expensive but a 'piece of cake'. Chantix obviously did its job with two long-term smokers. And that's very, very good.Smile

BTW, both ex-smokers have been off cigarettes for months now. One hasn't smoked for 9 months. And the other person did relapse for a couple of days but saw his action was futile and hasn't had a cigarette in about 4 months.
