I read horror stories about the drug Chantix. I also read many articles stating that it is the best thing on the market if you want to stop smoking for good. I wont go into any of that in detail. You can Google Chantix if you would like and read all of these things. I decided to try Chantix and write about it here each day. I'm hoping that I do not have any of the thoughts of killing people that I have read about. We will see what happens as the days unfold.
The Chantix program says not to stop smoking during the first week your on it. I started my first pill today Saturday August 14 2010 at 5am.
I picked up the starter kit. In the starter kit is a 4 week supply. It comes in 4 packs one for each week. The first week has one pill for day 1-2- and 3. Starting the 4th day there are two pills a day there after. One for the morning and one for the evening.
I'm a 45 year old male and I have smoked camels for 30 years. I'm at a pack a day now. I have tried to quit many times. Once the withdraws set in I have a very difficult time controlling my anger. I have a hard time concentrating. I'm on edge. Its never been a pretty thing for me or anyone around me. I have always enjoyed smoking and I think thats a big part of my weakness when it comes to quiting. I wont lie. I am very nervous about using this drug. My Fiancé has had a prescription for months now and has declined taking it because of all the problems that have been associated with its use.
I will update this blog everyday as long as I am on Chantix. If you have used Chantix or know anyone that has please tell us about it.
