Chantix (varenicline): Unbelievably good.

Chantix (varenicline): I just started taking Chantix again. I tend to get vivid dreams (not bad dreams) and some nausea but I found that if I take an anti-nausea pill around the same time I don't have to worry about it. It really does work. One day I'm smoking and the next I don't even want one!

Chantix (varenicline): It really works! I smoked or dipped daily for the past twenty years. I was on Chantix for six weeks and have been nicotine free for 5 weeks. Crazy dreams and very irritable so decided to stop Chantix. It does it's job!

Chantix (varenicline): I had no side effects. On April 13 2013 I started taking Chantix, on April 26 10:30 PM 2013 I stopped smoking.

Chantix (varenicline): Started Chatix on April 17, 2013 with a quit date of May 1, 2013. Today is April 24th and my experience is going great. I never smoked much anyway, 3 to 6 smokes a day, but going through menopause and needing some relief requires me to stop smoking. I quit many times before cold turkey, but it seems this time has been the toughest because of other stressful situations in my life right now. But the Chantix has only given me an upset stomach and I can only remember one dream so far and it was quite pleasant. I had the experience another reviewer had...I was shopping!

Chantix (varenicline): My husband and I both smoked about 1 and half packs a day and wanted to stop for our children. We began taking Chantix and smoked for the first week. We haven't smoked since then. The worst side effects we have had is some nausea right after taking the pill and some trouble sleeping. Its not the save all pill as it still requires will power, but it helps more than nothing. When you are ready to quit the medication will help but you really have to want it.

Chantix (varenicline): Quit smoking with Chantix three months ago. Didn't want to quit but did it to shut my husband up. Surprisingly, I don't smoke and don't want to anymore. Smoked 35 years, two pks a day. Not sure if this is a side effect but my face seems to feel burny and tingly and extremely dry with little red bumps. As far as the dreams go, I will miss them once I stop Chantix. I have shopped in every dream I have had and I loved everything I bought!

Chantix (varenicline): Smoked for 20 years, quit for 4 years, smoked again for 7 years.....that's a lot of smoking! I almost died in 2010 after having surgery and having a clot break loose and lodge in my lungs. That scared me, yet I continued to smoke. I need to have another surgery, but I told my Dr that I won't even discuss it until I've quit smoking first. Today is day #250 since I started Chantix. I'm still amazed at how easy it's been. I had purchased an E-cigarette a couple of years ago. The battery is dead and there's no nicotine oil in the filter, but I use it when I feel the need to smoke. I've offered to pay for the medication whenever my son decides that he's ready to quit too. (fingers crossed)

Chantix (varenicline): I have been on Chantix for 1 month. None since then and no desire for one. I put my savings on cigarettes in a bank daily. This is truly an effortless way to quit smoking!

Chantix (varenicline): I was pack a day smoker who had quit for 16 years. Bummed a cigarette and was hooked again. Smoked for 6 years after that. I bought 2 packs the day the prescription was filled. It took me 6 days to smoke them. I have been smoke free since Feb 5. I still have to fight the urge to smoke, but it is getting easier. I made it one month on Chantix, taking 1mg instead of 2, which made me feel slow. I had some nausea after taking it, but had to stop because of the constipation. It was terrible. I feel better now. I have more energy, my lungs feel cleaner and I smell better and I think my eyesight has improved. I substituted a toothpick when the urge hit, no calories. As long as I don't light up, I'll stay smoke free.

Chantix (varenicline): I just started day 1 of Chantix, I am 31yrs old and have been smoking since I was 15. I have also tried several other "stop smoking" gimmicks but they failed. I have very high hopes this will work for me

Chantix (varenicline): I have been on Chantix for a week now and every time I take the pill it makes me really ill for about 1-2 hours then I feel totally better. I eat first but it doesn't seam to help so the thought of a cigarette makes me sick. I have not smoked in 2 days and have no desire too. I am still going to take the pills.

Chantix (varenicline): Only little side effect I had was occasional graphic dreams, which actually were, on the most hand, quite enjoyable. Been smoker for 30 years and honestly can't even believe how easy it was to quite smoking using Chantix. I am really amazed. I have been a non-smoker for about 11 months now and have ABSOLUTELY no desire to go back. Thanks a bunch.

Chantix (varenicline): For the last 25 years I have smoked a pack a day, and dipped a can every two days. I have been on Chantix for a month now, and not had any tobacco for the last week! The week before that I did have one cigarette. But only one in two weeks is still awesome. I do have some of the side effects. For instance I have extremely vivid dreams, but they are not all bad dreams. I also have an upset stomach. I figure that putting up with these side effects is better than smoking. I would, and do recommend this medicine to any smoker. It is truly a miracle in a bottle.

Chantix (varenicline): So far it is only day 2, still smoking till my quit day on March 1st. I did notice that I did not have to smoke as soon as I got up today and did not smoke right after my meal. No sense of urgency to light up! We will see how it goes.

Chantix (varenicline): I've been on Chantix for 2 weeks I have reduced the amount I smoke and they smell awful and I can't finish the smoking, I also live with smokers who have decided not to quit and refuse to honor my request to smoke outdoors making it even more difficult to quit. I am a 2 to 3 pk a day sometimes 4pks a day smoker. I am down to less then 2 pks a day. I do have issues with my chest feeling very heavy and shortness of breath since taking Chantix, I have developed vertigo and upper respiratory infection since using Chantix. The cravings aren't as intense and I don't feel any anger. I do have very vivid dreams (not nightmares). I am also very itchy all over and get chills and hot flashes since taking Chantix and am very tired all the time.

Chantix (varenicline): I smoked for 40 years and tried to quit a handful of times. I have mostly been a pack a day smoker over the years. I have been smoke FREE (not even one cheat) for almost 5 months thanks to Chantix and a strong will. I had been a slave to nicotine for most of my adult life and Chantix gave me the ability to conquer the cravings and set down the cigarettes for good. On the same day I quit smoking I also set down a serious coffee habit. This may sound insane, but I was determined to throw over the habits that had a hold on me. I believe the lack of the caffeine amping me up didn't hurt my ability to quit. I have recently had a few sips of coffee without any problems where smoking is concerned. Pick up Chantix and put down the smokes

Chantix (varenicline): Am on 2nd week of Chantix, have not smoked in 3 days. Continued to smoke same as usual the first week of treatment. Still have slight cravings at certain times but it is manageable. No other side effects except as others noted crazy vivid dreams , but no nightmares. I'd recommend this way of quitting to anyone who are Leary or wonders if it works. It does block some of the pleasure you gain from smoking making it less enjoyable and easier to quit.

Chantix (varenicline): Week one on the starter pack. Was still smoking, no urge to quit, no side effects. Start week 2 (2 mg a day). I go to bed at 11-12 every night. Started waking up at 3 am on the dot every morning. Extremely vicious nightmares. I am all for vivid dreams but I have never in my life experienced anything like these. I love my wife deeply and in one dream she cheated on me, I woke up and found myself actually angry at her like it really happened...these are nightmares that haunt you the next day. By day 12, I started hallucinating, seeing patterns on the wall, in text, etc. It DOES eliminate the pleasure of smoking..thus the ease of quitting, and depression set in. Use with caution.

Chantix (varenicline): I am on Chantix since last Monday, February 3rd 2013. Tomorrow is my 8 day-quitting day, so lets see. I am still smoking, but as half as I did before. Usually I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes/day, and now I can see that I cut this amount into half at least. My worst enemy is MORNING COFFEE and I realized that I am smoking a few especially during that time. I am going to try to cut off coffee especially in the morning time. About side effects I worried a lot before when I started with medications, but so far NONE. I follow instructions and some other review helped a lot, always drink a pill during or right after the meal with a full glass of water. The only "side effect" is DREAMS, but nothing to be afraid of its just a dreams!

Chantix (varenicline): Chantix is Phenomenal! I started smoking just over 10 years ago as an occasional smokier but with some time I was totally committed to taking years of my life especially when I would add an alcoholic beverage to the mix there was nothing tastier than a cigarette. I started taking Chantix and during the first week I was still smoking, not because it was enjoyable but mostly because of habit. They tasted horrible so I would take 2 puffs and throw it out I stopped taking Chantix and was able to remain smoke free. Like some of the other comments the dreams are INTENSE, very vivid, very weird and I actually remember them when I wake up... Another downside is that I am tired but its worth it! Quit while your ahead.

Chantix (varenicline): Chantix worked for me! I tried to quit many times using the patch and the cravings were always still too intense to continue not smoking for more than 48 hours. I smoked on Chantix slightly longer than the recommended week, but towards the end of that time, I was finding it difficult to finish a whole cigarette. It just wasn't desirable to me anymore. The first day not smoking on Chantix was still a bit challenging, but not unbearable. I had promised myself that if I made it 24 hours without a cigarette, I would never smoke again. After the first day, each following day was easier and easier. The only side effects I experienced were vivid dreams. I kind of liked it though. I am coming up on 4 years since my last cigarette this March.

Chantix (varenicline): I've smoked for four years. Started at age 14, I was up to a pack a day and was tired of being sick all the time and waking up with my chest killing me. I've always known about Chantix but didn't know how it would make me feel because I would get bad nicotine fits. I was on it for only 2 weeks and didn't want anything do with a cigarette, the smell alone made me nauseous. I didn't even have to finish the other two weeks. Chantix didn't make me depressed or have weird dreams. Yes I got irritated but that's expected. I've been smoke free for 95 days. People can smoke in front of me and I will not be phased by it. I suggest Chantix to anyone who wants to quit and has tried all other options. You can do it!

Chantix (varenicline): I'm on Day 8 of Chantix. I have smoked for twenty years and tried several other methods without success. My best friend is also taking it at the same time. The dreams are vivid. I'm very tired. I've also had headaches which are not typical for me. I'm light sensitive and so dizzy that I feel unsafe driving or working at times. However, I've continued to take one pill a day instead of the two. I'm now on 1mg. I have noticed less cravings. I'm so miserable that I'm gonna stop smoking just so I can quit this medication. Oh and I forget, depressed. Wish you all luck!

Chantix (varenicline): I have tried so many unsuccessful times to quit smoking. I have used patches, tried cold turkey, even hypnosis! Nothing worked. I have smoked for more than 35 years. I finally decided to try the Chantix, thinking the entire time that it would fail as well. When my doctor told me that it actually blocked the nicotine receptors in the brain instead of just simply replacing the nicotine itself, I began to have some hope. I smoked for about a week, and the craving began to diminish. Cigarettes began to taste different. I had cigarettes, but I just did not want to smoke them. I knew then that something had changed. I had very crazy dreams, not scary, just crazy, but that was doable. I didn't get depressed at all.
