I start week 4 of Chantix tomorrow. I have 3 more weeks’ worth. I feel pretty good now and am wondering if I even need more than the 3 weeks worth I have. Also, is there anything I should know coming off the Chantix? Should I expect worse urges or anything like that?
Do I need the full 12 weeks of chantix?

I think a lot of people have been able to quit before the 12 week period is up. Please see the link below for reviews made by people who have taken Chantix. You may find it useful.

My computer notified me that you joined recently but I wasn’t sure how to say welcome and good luck. So welcome and good luck :) Are you on Chantix as well? I’m a believer. For me, it’s as close to a miracle drug as I could have hoped for.
