Nice to see you back again @Mac#23

NOPE!!

-7 @GonSo I posted in the Introductions Board, so we can continue the discussion over there in the post you made.

@GonSo the beginning is very difficult you will have good days and bad days, but I promise it does get a lot better. You won't be thinking of smoking 24/7 anymore, you just have to give it time, that's really all you can do because you are doing everything else right. You will get there!

-7 How are you doing @GonSo?

Hi @Marilou Welcome! I was on Chantix the first time I quit smoking and the worst side effect that I had was nausea in the morning which lasted about a half hour. I also had vivid dreams but those didn't bother me. I thought they took Chantix off the market? Speak with your doctor as he/she can advise you much better. Good luck with your quitting journey, hope to see you around!

Great advice from everyone @tocevoD You have to get off the NRT's after a while, as everyone said. I remember when I first quit, I was weaning myself off ciggies, eventually down to 2 a day, one in the AM and one in the PM and I thought maybe I could keep it like that. Worst thing I could ever have done. I was in constant withdrawal looking at the clock to see how many more hours I have until the next cig. It was horrible! Withdrawal all day long. Everyone on here told me I have to give those 2 up in order to quit so I did. It wasn't easy, but I couldn't stand the withdrawal symptoms because they were driving me insane! So I stuck it out. The first month was the absolute worst, but the longer you go without nicotine, the easier it gets. You see that it works, look at everyone on here, some haven't smoked for over 5, 10 and 20 plus years. That says that it is definitely doable!! Read the instructions on the Nicerette and follow exactly what it says to wean yourself down and totally off of them. You can do it!! If you are really serious about quitting, that is what you have to do and only you can decide. We can advise you and support you, but the quitting has to come from you!
