LS_Sonoma Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Works for me! Little pricey when insurance didnt cover it, but Ive been smoke free for 5 days now. Only side effects have been vivid dreams and bubble gut. LOL I didnt follow the directions and I smoked the complete first week and half of the second. Finally, I stopped at WalMart and bought Blow Pops, Tootsie Pops, Werther Originals and Jolly Ranchers to abide my time in the car. I noticed an instant decrease in cravings. I grew up poor white trash from Kentucky so smoking is in my genes and have been doing so since I was 13 and have been for 15 yrs straight. Srsrly. I feel alot better now. Yesterday my family and I went on a nature outing. Normally a flight of stairs winds me. At 6' 165lbs you'd look at me and think I was in good shape...not when it comes to breathing. I was good all day though. I hope this helps someone make that change also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brent1976 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've been trying to quit for a month now. That chantix stuff kicked my ass, the second week I slept for about 1-2 hours a night so I quit taking it. I have went from 1 1/2 packs a day to 3-5 cigs a day since then. It's one of the hardest things to not do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 My Dr. gave me a script for it. I was gonna try it until I read one of the side effects was suicidal thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 One of the side affects to half the meds out there are suicidal thoughts, you just have to know to stop taking it if you develop them and you'll be fine. I work in a pharmacy and i know a lot of people who have stopped by using Chantix. It is pricey, but I saw someone who had smoked for 30 years take it for a month, and quit completely. Definitely worth the $120 or so dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 $120 a month = $4 a day give or take...same price as smoking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I relapsed today. Malboro Red tasted like shit! Yep...I'm done. Only after 6-7 days. I also dropped down to one pill a day to try it out. No change, so this should save me some money as I can take the pill longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing your family would be worse. My wife did some research and read aloud all of the horror stories. I started the next day lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I did it two years ago, dropped it in 8 days. The biggest side effect was I quit drinking Diet Mt. Dew too. But that I picked back up. I'm still not sure why I ever started in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 120 dollars a month is less than what I spend on cigarettes a month. I wouldn't consider it pricey by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 i have a buddy up in detroit that went on it and said he had some pretty fucked up dreams lucky for me (i guess), i have asthma, so its never something i picked up. and now both my parents have quit over the years, i know one of my brothers did, but im not sure about the other. even if he hasnt, 1/6 people is better than 4/6 that it was at.

HAOLE Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 The best way to quit is not to buy any more of them. BTW.... I have neve smoked so yes it is easy for me to say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
