smoking cessation
"I started Chantix July 23, 2011. My doctor told me to take a half a pill for 2 days, then a whole pill but half it for a week but on Monday July 25 I stopped smoking. My doctor said it was okay to smoke the first week but I smoked for two days and I didn't want one as much as I did, here it is July 30, 2011 and I have been smoke free so far, it's not as hard now. Its all about self control. Chantix won't make you just drop it out the blue. You still have to have self control but after day 3 it wasn't hard at all. I feel great and had no side effects but I was a grouch the first couple of days but I was dealing with custody battle and no nicotine but all is well now. Chantix worked for me."
