Thanks Janet, yep my insurance will pay for the Chantix, so i'm going to take advantage of that one while i still have my insurance, i just don't like the side effect, but that is a good one making my stomach sick, i'm not going to eat as much..

i gained alot of weight the last time i quit and i'm not going to do it this time, even if i have to get diet pills i will!!!!

ps, one good thing is we don't smoke in the house cause of Micah, but i'm allowed to smoke at work, everyone smokes here, that is going to be hard coming to work and not smoking, but i will get use to it, i'll just keep thinking that were saving 5,000 a year on cig.s

I quit this past January.
Company I work for took a dollar an hour away from us... got the email stating that, and I was on my last pack. Had 5 to go and decided that quick I was done.

Good luck to you and Mike!!! Hard to do but so worth it.

Good news Haley! I will pray for all of you.

I was so proud of myself when I quit. It really helped my self-esteem shoot up, and actually was a life changing event.

My mother died from emphysema. I still have not forgiven her for that.

He told me he was a little oozy in the tummy, but that was it. Me....I was so sick I wanted to vomit...so I quit taking them and used the patch. I just couldn't stand being that sick to my tummy all the time.

I been hearing bad stories about the Chantix, the nightmares they say are so real, i'm really worried about that cause i sleep with Micah, i don't want to hurt him while i'm sleeping, i'm going to talk to more people today from our company that took Chantix if the nightmares are that bad, i will go on the patch, i have to call my insurance company again to see if they cover that... hopefully... i'll let you know..

i'm going to run to wal-marts lunch time , and stock up on sugarless gum, hard candy, fuit, etc. at least the weather is breaking here, i'll be able to power walk with micah at night, i'm getting so nervous, was thinking this morning about how i'm going to change my morning routine, that first smoke with coffee i have to get out of my head. that's going to be the hardest for me....

Post-Marketing Experience:
The following adverse events have been reported during post-approval use of Chantix. Because these
events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably
estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
There have been reports of depressed mood, agitation, changes in behavior, suicidal ideation and
suicide in patients attempting to quit smoking while taking Chantix. Smoking cessation with or without
treatment is associated with nicotine withdrawal symptoms and the exacerbation of underlying
psychiatric illness. Not all patients had known pre-existing psychiatric illness and not all had
discontinued smoking. The role of Chantix in these reports is not known.
