Chantix. Giving it a shot.

[Ex Inferi]

So im going to start chantix tomorrow cause i am at the point where i would love nothing more than to quit smoking. Just wondering if there is anyone else on here that has tried this??

[KC Meat]

Have fun with the dreams...

[districtignition]

Have fun with the dreams...

Everyone I know that used it said they had some fucked up dreams too... however they also reported that it worked really good on getting them to quit smoking.

[squirrel42014]

I don't know about the dreams, but I work for a company that does follow up surveys with the tobacco quit lines, and Chantix is a big success for many people. I would say for you to try it.

[KC Meat]

Most common side effects I've heard from my friends are fucked up dreams and/or possible depression...

[K-Blur]

Its a good med for quiting. Never heard about the dream thing, but i've taken it myself and I definetly didn't want to smoke on it. That's because it made me sick to my stomach when I smoked, haha. I'm a dumbass though and I quit taking the pill instead of the cigs.

[*~TaNi~*]

I'm really curious how this goes. let me know ;)

[Amber]

I took it for a bit and it did work. You have to take it for a couple of months if you want to quit for good though.

good luck! i just quit cold turkey after new years. :cool: i have had a couple smokes while intoxicated, but honestly i feel much better. a cig still sounds good every now and again, but there is no need for one to calm down. im definitely happy with the change. hope it works out for ya either way.

Fucked up dreams?Like what?

Yea my buddy takes it and says he has had some pretty crazy dreams! So we will have to wait for those. And Tani yea i will let you know how this progresses.

[Ex Inferi]

So yea i think im starting to have those crazy dreams. Just last night i dreamt i found a big bag full of 8balls of coke and a bunch of needles in my dads closet (this is really strange cause my dad is a doctor and is really LDS) and i stole a bunch then we ended up doing it together!! WEIRD!!!

[Mizz Nici]

It made me and a few others really nauseous. Also if you stop taking it earlier then a few months you may relapse.. That happened a few others I know that tried it.

omg weird!

I would probably have dreams about your dad too. Nongood dreams. Bad bad dreams. OMG bad.

*curls up in fetal position*

[KC Meat]

Tani would have straight dreams and wake up crying...

[M_Lee]

Where can I find this stuff?

....i dont smoke.

[*~TaNi~*]

Tani would have straight dreams and wake up crying...

That's true ;)

but his dad was actually my doc for a point in time and I totally think I would wake up crying. (he wasn't very nice, did you piss in his cheerios, s-bone?)

No haha. But his kids are kind of demons. So i dont know why he was pissed that day.

[Walka]

....i dont smoke.
Did I ask you?

[Third_Eye]

If it were me, I would just quit cold turkey. No weening off, no patch or gum or any other kind of gimmick. Just good ol' mind over matter. If you really care about quitting, just do it. When you get the cravings, face them and beat them. It will make you stronger, and you will feel more accomplished knowing that you did it without a crutch. I am not saying its easy to quit, far from it. But you don't NEED anything to do it, you can just stop. Don't buy them, don't take them if a friend offers, just flat out stop smoking. You are the one in control, they do not control you. You make a choice everytime you light up. Start making a different choice :2cents:




Good Luck

Well put! Im actually thinking of quitting the chantix. I have read alot of peoples experiences with it and alot of them have been really bad.

[*~TaNi~*]

Easier said than done thought Mike-o.

You wouldn't realize just how much of a habit this demon is. For the past 7 years + now, I've smoked every time I get in a car, every time I drink, every time I eat....it's exactly that, a HABIT. and a hard one to break. And to be honest, if my mind was strong enough over the matter, I would have quit long ago, but nicotine is a funny drug. I'm thinking about starting a "say nope to nic" chapter of DARE so that when I do quit (assuming that I will), I can get kids to never even think twice about it. Wait....they already opt against tobacco too. I'll have to come up with something more creative. I just don't wish this upon anyone.

Like today in class. I know I smelled like smoke. The freakin' cheerleader attitude girls on some athletic team always look at me funny. I feel uncomfortable with the glares, but I felt I needed to smoke. I was bummed out about a test, and couldn't concentrate on studying at the time ...so what do I do? What I know best. I smoked. It was the longest hour of my life sitting through class with their eyes drilling into the back of my head though. Ugh, I hate those bitches. (I thought you left things like this/people like them behind in high school..... Lucky me, they're in multiple classes of mine and treat me like the biggest piece of shit on earth when I confront them with any conversation or questions.)

^this is my point, you have allowed it to become a crutch. "I was stressed, I needed to relax". Learn to deal with life issues without smoking, be able to relax using only what is inside of you instead of relying on something else. People use alcohol or drugs in the same way, and that is how they get in trouble. "I had a really bad day, I need to go get shitfaced." It should be recreational, nothing more. I know its hard honey, but the bottom line is that every time you light up you are saying that getting your fix is more important than sticking to your resolve and quitting. Its not the cigs that are doing that, you are choosing to give them that power and you can choose to take it away. Don't blame some "cheerleader types" in your class for making you feel bad, you shouldn't even care what they think. The fact that it got to you shows that you feel guilty about it, which is even more evidence that you shouldn't be doing it at all.



I love ya babe, I am here for you. I may sound like an asshole, but I am saying it because I care. Just quit, stop making excuses, stop lashing out at cheerleaders, stop empowering an unimportant inanimate object that has no business being in your life. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for, you can break the habit if you fully commit to it. Just stop smoking, end of story. No slips, no "I've been good lately, I deserve a smoke" or "I have only had one cig today, one more won't hurt". Just flat out stop and never look back

[*~TaNi~*]

pff. Asshole ;)

You totally should be a bigger bitch the next time I talk to you!" with a smile on your face...

I know you were talking of maybe dropping the Chantix, did that happen? or are you still using it?

I'm so proud of you *pinches your wittle cheekypoos*

[Daaz]

I already have fucked up dreams and want to do chantix. Tell me how it goes. Right now the gum isnt working, i am ending up just using the gum when i'm to lazy to go outside and smoke (it's cold.)

[Ex Inferi]

[Third_Eye]

[N8orade]

I neeeeeeed something to help me. I can handle the cravings ok til I drink, then bye bye no smoking. I try, god I try, but I keep failing. I fucking hate hate hate hate hate cigarettes. I hate not having energy. I hate the way I smell. I really hate buying them.

[Ex Inferi]

Still smoke free and its been like 28 days.OMG, 28 days later!! The zombie invasion will really be a bunch of nicotine addicts looking for their fix and killing anybody in their path, b/c they think that person is either hiding the nicotine from them, or will try and stop them when they find the nicotine.

*grabs gun*

4 more days and I too will be on this ride.. :( Although a large part of me is excited another part of me is sad.. Weird huh? Smoking has been a big part of my life for 11 years and its almost like loosing a friend. Something you can depend on to be there when you need it most. I can do it though. I have a lot of things I want that involves me quitting (Ie babies and vocal training classes) so I think this time I will succeed.... Isn't going to be easy though.

[adrena_line]

My :2cents:....

I smoked for maybe 2 years..not a really involved habit or anything, but it WAS a habit. Then suddenly I just...stopped. My last cigarette was actually at Get Freaky - okay, I *did* get really drunk at Tool and bummed one off Melisa, but I was grossed out after one inhale and threw it on the ground when she wasn't looking. :cool: It wasn't difficult to quit in any way for me. I was just...done. No cravings, no nothing. My situation is unique though. I just dont GET it.

*shrug*

and that concludes my worthless input into this thread

[Mizz Nici]

I kinda of look at like this..

It would be much harder to break off a relationship of 11 years then one of 2... More emotions etc are involved.. More of your life is involved etc. Yay for you though!

[TinkFu]

Chantix makes my girl sick to the point where she's puking 5 minutes after she takes the pill! ... She came up with a solution that seems be working quite well for her though. She only takes halves :D
