I am thinking about using the new prescription drug Chantix. Have you tried this, what was your experience? I've tried everyway to quit and have to admit I need serious help! Need input...quick!

Hi, Debrakcarey! I used Chantix to quit. It wasn't easy, and it took three months. It was also very expensive, since insurance doesn't cover it. A couple of years later, I can tell you it was well worth it! Joanne

I am concerned about being able to function at work. I need to have ALL my wits about me as I am a medication Technician and CANNOT make a mistake. How was that aspect for you? I also am a little bit worried about nightmares and depression. I have been in treatment in the past for chronic depression and do not want to relapse. I have been medication free for some years and don't want to have to start over again.

I usually have a lot of trouble with meds. I totalled my car 17 hours after taking one Soma! But I had no reactions to Chantix at all, other than being able to quit smoking!
