I have just started taking Chantix and I am about a pack a day smoker give or take. I want to be successful with this for good. I have 5 children and a husband who smokes who has just began to take Chantix as well. My biggest concern is that we will be able to quit, but what happens after we stop taking Chantix? My husband quit for 5 years before! I am tired of feeling like a horrible mother, a social outcast and hiding my habit from people in my life. Not to mention sick and tired of the cost of smoking in itself. My husband agrees and feels the same. I just want to hear from someone out there they have been successful off of Chantix who started with Chantix. Anyone??????

I don’t mean the goofy gay guy from The Friday Night Project. I know two people have have quit smoking after reading it. Has anyone else found it helpful? I’m just a bit cynical

I went to the Dr yesterday and I mentioned that I was thinking about quitting smoking. I’m not a heavy smoker. She said that Wellbutrin would probably be the best for me. I always thought of that as mostly an antidepressant. She said that it was made to be an antidepressant and people were just giving up their smoking habits on it so now it’s also being used as an anti smoking medicine. I am just wondering what side effects people have had on it and if they have had any when getting off of it. I’m on 150mg once a day, and so far it has just made me NOT hungry. For some reason, if I don’t make myself eat, I feel like I could just not eat for days and not be hungry at all. Is it normal for it to be a major appetite suppressant?
If you don’t want to read all that, just tell me your experience with Wellbutrin. Thanks!

I have been prescribed lexapro and ativan from my doctor for a depression/anxiety issue. The medication is working well I think. I smoke about a pack a day and really want to quit. I can’t do it on my own. I tried many times. Has anyone stopped smoking while on these meds? Does ativan help reduce nicotine fits?

I want… I NEED to stop smoking.(cigarettes by the way). I know my health is going to go downhill from here…and I don’t want that. I’m only 21 and want this to end before I start having children. I have health insurance…and was going to talk to my dr. But has anyone out there quit for good? If so, any tips?

I think I have tried everything and nothing is working, so either I have no will power or the companies who make the (stop smoking products) have not come up with a product that will help me yet.

This is no joke. I’ve been on these things for 4 days now, not smoking at all!! I’m farting about 5 times an hour, and loudly, not little SBD’s. I don’t know if I should go back to smoking or just keep farting until I’m an ex smoker.

I’m afraid they’ll die of cancer soon if they don’t stop.

In January I will have been an ex smoker for four years. I used Nicorette mint gum. I liked it because I could chew it whenever I wanted a cigarette. And I would chew a piece for 30 minutes sometime. It really helped with the craving and the oral need. I drank a lot of water, cleaned house and washed the nicotine smell out of my clothes.
Previously, I had tried to quit but I was too nervous not to have “emergency” cigarettes on hand. The successful time, I took what I had in a pack (about 6) and wrapped tape around the pack, sealing the cigarettes inside. I put the wrapped up pack in the back of a cabinet in the laundry room. I knew if I had a total meltdown, I had emergency cigarettes around.
I could also not be around people who were smoking for about the first year. If people really care about you they want you to quit and will encourage you.
My partner died of pneumonia aggravated by his smoking. Another friend of mine had a lung removed before she quit. I did not want to die like that.
Good luck.
