smoking cessation
"I was nervous about this drug - scared I'd turn psychotic. I haven't yet! I'm in my 6th week, been a non-smoker for 4 of them. I take it after eating & with a big glass of water, that cuts down the nausea. Vivid dreams at first, no nightmares. I wake up in the night to pee, without fail, & that is only since the Chantix. I'm sleepy & kinda cranky...kinda very cranky sometimes!! But I can breathe & laugh without coughing. I don't start my day hacking my lungs up, it was going to kill me. I'm ready to start tapering, I'm going to 1/2 pill 2x day for a week then I'll drop to once a day & then, hallelujah, my body will be my own again!"
