I am starting chantix tomorrow I have a mild anxiety have to quit its affecting my health?

Hi 1sassy lady. I have PTSD & anxiety & I quit smoking using Chantix. I was anxious about quitting for the whole week before I even began taking the Chantix. So my 1st day of no smoking I did have some anxiety not bad just a constant low level vibration running through me that made me easily distracted & kind of jumpy like I was forgetting to do something important. After a day or so that went away. Just make sure you have other things to fill the void at the times you would normally smoke like after eating a meal so that your hands & mouth are preoccupied. Smoking is not only an addiction but a hand/oral habit so you have to retrain those as well. I used cinnamon tooth picks, twizzlers, the little dum dum suckers & even kept a pen btwn my fingers like a cig alot for the 1st few weeks. Hopefully your anxiety doesn't get triggered but I cant swear it wont.
