I was wondering if anyone knew if this new stop smoking drug has any adverse affect on anyone taking it that takes Heart, Cholesterol, and diebetes medication? I need to quit smoking and was concidering Chantix, but I am concerned about it interacting with my present medication. Anyone know anything about it, like maybe a site with some case studies on it? Thanks, Mike

The drug does work. I have known people who have smoked or 30 yrs and stopped with it. I work in a doctors office and know the patients.
As far as side effects, the only thing I know is some people complained of nausea and this is corrected by taking the pill after eating. You take the pills as directed, they come in a starter pack. you continue to smoke for seven days while taking the pill. By the 7th day the cigarettes will taste awful and yr sense of smell comes back. Making the smell of the smoke really stink. So you totally dislike it.
As far as diabetes, heart disease etc, ask yr doctor but I would think the side effects from smoking vs the drug. You are better off with the drug. Thats my opinion.. Good Luck:D
