I’m starting on Chantix to stop smoking and I was wondering what the best time of day is to take it?
When should I take Chantix, AM or PM?

Chantix dosing information
Usual Adult Dose for Smoking Cessation:
Days 1 to 3: 0.5 mg orally once a day
Days 4 to 7: 0.5 mg orally twice a day
Days 8 to end of treatment: 1 mg orally twice a day
Comments:
-The patient should set a date to stop smoking. Dosing should start 1 to 2 weeks before this date.
-Smoking cessation therapies are more likely to succeed for patients who are motivated to stop smoking and who are provided with additional advice and support.
-In smoking cessation therapy, risk for relapse to smoking is elevated in the period immediately following the end of treatment.
Use: Smoking cessation
