Called will power just quit!!! I was 3 packs a day quit cold turkey
almost 4 years if you want to bad enough you will quit unless you have a
weak mind!!! The drug companys want you to think you need drugs or
patches to quit you just need to be strong and stop!


It depends on the physiology *and* psychology of the person. I've tried
quitting I don't know how many times. Longest was 9 weeks. All it takes
is a "trigger" to revert back (once I get over being sick like heroin
withdrawals). If there is a drug out there that will help with the
psychological (as well as the physiological - it seems Chantax does that
as well, in re nausea), I'll take it. So far I haven't found it. Maybe
this is it....

Once you stop taking the other drug you may have withdrawals from that. As I
said it's will power I know it is not easy you just have to have the will to
do it be strong it can be done with out drugs. Your body will suffer a
little from the damage you have done to it already but it can be overcome
with time. Our society is becoming to dependent upon pharmaceuticals (Drugs)
some of witch have far more worse side effects then natural substances that
nature created.

In clinical trials, Chentix was generally well tolerated. However, there
were side effects that were more general in occurrence and some that were
more serious, but rare.

Gastrointestinal Side Effects: The most common side effect of taking Chantix
is nausea. Other gastrointestinal symtoms include abdominal pain, gas,
dyspepsia, vomiting, constipation, acid reflux, and dry mouth.

Psychiatric Side Effects: Psychiatric disorders involved problems with sleep
disorders such as insomnia, abnormal dreams and nightmares.

Nervous Systems Side Effects: Nervous system problems involved headache,
somnolence, and lethargy.
General disorders included fatigue, malaise, and asthenia.

Metabolism Side Effects: Metabolism and nutritional side effects included
either increased or decreased appetite and anorexia.

Other side effects involved skin rash and respiratory disorders.

More serious, but less common were life threatening side affects which may
or may not require medical attention depending on severity of symptoms and
life threatening nature. Those include, nut are not limited to, blood and
lymphatic system disorders (anemia), cardiac disorders (chest pain, heart
arrhythmia, heart palpitations and rapid heartbeat, stroke, atrial
fibrillation, and coronary heart disease), ear disorders (tinnitus,
vertigo), thyroid gland disorders, gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea,
gingivitis, gastritis, esophagitis, gastric ulcer), immune systems
disorders, metabolism disorder (diabetes), musculoskeletal (back pain,
muscle cramps, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, osteoporosis), nervous
system disorders (disturbance in attention, dizziness, amnesia, migraine,
restless leg syndrome, tremor), psychiatric disorders (anxety depression,
irritability, restlessness, mood swings, agitation, decreased libido). There
is a low occurrence of renal and urinary disorders, reproductive disorders
(menstrual disorder, erectile dysfunction), vascular disorders (hot flush,
hypertension, hypotension), respiratory disorders, and skin disorders (acne,
dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis).

Chantix has no clinically significant pharmacological drug interactions and
was shown not to have carcinogenic effects in studies on rats.
