Chantix - Remarkable Stop Smoking Drug
Everyone here has been so helpful and I finally have something that helped me to pass along. I have tried to quit smoking for so long and tried really hard since I found my bc. My cardiologist said people were having great success with Chantix and prescribed it about a month ago. I cut down the first week, then stopped completely that weekend and haven't wanted one since. I really think I have finally stopped smoking! I know there are a few others out there that have been trying too and I just wanted them to know about this drug. I know, another pill. This one works. AND I haven't gained weight (but I haven't lost weight either.) I tried the gum, lozenges, zyban, you name it. I see every other medication advertised on TV, even for restless feet, but I haven't seen this one. It's kind of like it's a big secret, and I don't know about side effects. Maybe you're not on it long enough to have many side effects, although I probably would have tried anything to quit smoking. It is kind of expensive but so are cigarettes. Now if I could just find a pill to quit eating.
