Note: I just caught a news mention of the FDA receiving complaints of serious psychological issues related to the use of Chantix, 35 suicides have now been linked to the use of the drug. It has only been FDA approved for 1 year. Thought I'd toss that here as I thought of this thread when I heard the news clip.

It's defiently something to keep in mind. I had done a lot of research before I had taken it and was heavily analytical of myself and my moods/emotions the first week of taking it. The percentage of these cases was small enough to consider it an anomaly.

i've read that the most common side effects are nausea and sleep disturbance. For those of you that have taken Chantix how bad were those side effects and how did you deal with them?

There is also another drug that can be used, Wellbutrin. Which i am on now to stop smoking, and it is so working!!
I have not had the urge to smoke that much. I have cut down to like 1 cig every 4-5 hours now, and soon my quitting date is approaching fast. lol

Barring a major health episode that forces the issue which is how I quit, I would recommend that you educate yourself on the mechanics of the addiction. You might want to check out a book by Allen Carr called The Easy Method to Quit Smoking. As a method, it didn't really work for me, but it's very illustrative in breaking down the distinctions between the physical and psychological addiction.

The physical addiction is over within 3-4 days. After that it's all in your head. Gum and the patch are out and out scams that simply prolong the addiction and make money for the manufacturers.

Other posters have given some excellent advice to which I will add the following:

NEVER EVER EVER TREAT A CIGARETTE AS A REWARD!!!!!!!!!!!
