I'm nervous

kayla,, the 18th is my quit date,,using the chantix and bupropion together, scared as can be, smoked 2 packs day for 30 years,,, i cut back beginning the chantix and bupropion to 10 cig a day which for me was great,, now about 6, but tried to give them up yesterday and couldnt tried today and couldnt, so really worrying about the 18th,, only hope i have is right now the chantix is 5 mg twice a day and on the 18th it goes to 1 mg twice a day,,, hope that is helpful, does any other chantix uses think going up to the 1 mg made a difference. but kayla you can do this, hang in there and keep reading,,,,,,,

first day

Hello Maxie and everyone, axie this is my 2nd day to quit,, tough but so far i am making it,, i use the chantix, and also had some bupropion sr with zban , drugist they would not interact so i started using both,,,, i dont crave a cig as much as they are on my mind and think i need one,,,, I know we can do it if we just set our minds to it,,, right now i have several other things going on and makes it hard time to quit, had part of colon taken out in dec and got the staph infection and ecoli and almost kicked the bucket,, i never ask for a pap smear but knew i was couple months past time so called dr and said maybe i should, well now have polyps in the womb and other place,, any way enough of that just so many things , but so far nothing real bad,,, i had decided to give up smoking before all this tho. and had set my date for the 18th of march, i laid them down night of the 16th and have not picked up one yet,,,, close but havent,,, good luck to you,,,, remeber you can do it

The Magic Ship- Board Here!

Mrmagic,, did you have bad withdrawal symptoms with chantix? I have two more days than the 8th day suppose to lay them down and never pick up,,, I have really cut back already as they are tasting pretty bad,, but also I was on bupropion sr for smoking about 1month before starting chantix,,, i stayed on bupropion and take it early morning, chantix mid, and same in evening,, seems to really be helping, but past few days i have had from 3 to 10 cig per day, which better than 2 packs,,, but wondering after the 8th day if symptoms get bad,,,,, know everyone different but symptoms lot alike

Anyone quitting 3/27?

Hi bobbie,, my quit date is the 18th. that is on the chantix program,, scared as can be as been heavy smoker over 30 years,,, but have been able to really cut back past couple of weeks,, from 3 to 10 cig a day and that is pretty good, hoping in 3 more days i wont want any,,,, they stay on your mind tho, i breathe deep a lot,, drink 5 or 6 bottles of water a day,,, suck on hard candy, took empty pack of cig,,, filled it with chewing gum,,, laid it beside favorite chair and when i set down and want a cig, pick up that package and all i have is gum,,,,so i chew it, and cut back some like that,,,,, good luck on the 27th dont know if you heavy smoker or just now and than, but whichever hope we both and all here can lay them down,, before they do more damage,,,,, best of luck,,,,,,,,

My Introduction/How it's worked for me.

I have never heard of the addictive free cigarettes, sounds worth a try,,, are you allowed to tell me what the name is ,,,, i would like to try them my last 5 days of smoking some and ease off little more, i try anything to make it easy ,,,, taking bupropion and chantiz together,,, dont advise anyone else to, just saying what i am trying and praying it helps me,,,,, quit day is the 18........ good luck on your successful quitting, stay smoke free it is well worth it, once you can kick the habit,,,

Day one for me

good luck dupe, you can do it,, i tried the patches once but i had no luck, however i know several people who stopped smoking with them,,,, i have 6 more days till my quit day, getting little nervous,, but i started the chantiz and read several people on here using it and how well it done,,, also i was on bupropion to help me slow down on smoking,,,,, so right now i am using both the bupropion with zyban and the chantiz, i was afraid of drug interactions but could find no info on internet but paper came with chantiz said they found no drug interaction with bupropion, so hope they are right,,, who knows, i certaintly dont,,,, but i hope the patches work for you and eat lots of hard candy,,, chewing gum,,,,, i blow a lot of bubbles already trying to slow down,,, remember everyone on this board is very positive and very helpful,, so read lot of messages and when you feel the urge if you can get to your computer turn it on and read what these people have to say, it helps ,,,,, keep posting and next week i will be in your shoes,, the chantiz is 8 day start,, you can do it remember that, doing it for yourself,,, than that will help your loved ones,,,,,,,,
