Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for 36 years, having quit and failed more times than I can remember for most of that time. Then I tried Chantix for one month. That was nearly 13 years ago and I haven't even wanted to smoke since. I had no side effects, nothing even remotely slightly. Chantix is a real lifesaver, the only way to go."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I'm on my 10th day of Chantix. I have not smoked for two days. The first few days I was smoking more than normally than around the 5th day cut my 20 a day habit down to 3 it felt easier than I imagined it would then 1 now none. Chantix is s strong drug I suffer with depression anyway so I have been very cautious about the dosage. I only take one pill a day. I have felt depressed at times but I have had worse days. I keep a close eye on my mood and make sure I keep telling myself it's my mind and I will control it. I felt queasy at times but never got that sick feeling after smoking. I still crave a cigarette but I feel chanix makes it more bearable to get through the craving. It's still early days but I've never managed to go this long without smoking in 22 years so fingers crossed to a better me."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "After reading reviews I was terrified to take this medicine, but I really wanted to quit, so I gave it a try. I took it for 35 days and quit due to side effects. I smoked for the first two weeks and haven’t smoked another one in 3 weeks. I did experience nausea some, vivid dreams, but nothing terrifying. I did get severely depressed and literally just got out of bed to go to work, so I decided to quit taking it. I think this drug is effective in helping you quit if you really desire to quit. It was a great start for me, and I’m hoping I don’t start back after quitting the medicine early. Cigarettes taste disgusting while using this and you don’t get that satisfaction after smoking like you normally would, so I think that’s what helps."

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Hi guys, I'm on week 10 of the tablets now and oh my what a great result its been! I gave up smoking on just day 8 of taking champix and have not had a cig or cravings since! I had tried all sorts before finally giving in to seek help from my GP. I'm glad I did otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. Every time I walk past someone smoking or someone is stood next to me smoking the smell makes me feel sick? Anyone else get that? Good luck guys and gals here's to a smoke free future."

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I have been a smoker for 30 odd years about 12 a day. I have had multiple attempts at quitting over the years but always started up again. I know a few people that had quit for good using Champix so thought I would try it. Well all I can say is WOW!! I am on day 23 taking Champix and have not wanted to smoke since day 10. During the first week I noticed that I could only smoke half a cigarette and only smoking about 5 a day. Then on day 10 I woke up not even wanting to smoke. Feels like a miracle. I am finally free and know that it will be life long. The only side effect for me, was a bit of nausea but found that taking it straight after brekky and dinner worked well. Give it a go and good luck "

Tyrvaya (varenicline) for Dry Eye Disease "I have been using Tyrvaya samples for several weeks now and my eyes have not felt or looked this good in 8 or 9 years. I had a very bad case of Meibomine gland dysfunction and have tried about everything. Within a couple of days my eyes were clear. One sneeze after spraying and no burning after I learned how to spay correctly. Too bad my insurance does not cover it and no way I can afford this med."

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Used Champix to stop smoking after 40 years. I think this is a miracle drug and is underused. My doctor did not tell me about this drug - it was my pharmacist that suggested it. So I asked the doctor to give me a prescription. Within 3 weeks I was smoke free and it happened almost without me realizing it. I would light up a cigarette have a puff and suddenly think, "I really don't want this" so would put it out. I've noticed that some people have said that they still got the urge but I don't believe that the "urge" was due to nicotine but just the "habit" of "lighting up". Champix can also be used to treat alcoholism, heroin, opioid & cocaine addictions!!!! I know there are side effects but all medications have side effects. I have many smokers say that they can't use Champix because they are afraid of the side affects. I then ask them what side effects does smoking have? Thank heavens for Champix!!!!"

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Only been on chantix for two weeks, due to health issues really needed to quit. The desire for a smoke has gone down. And they are not tasting as good. I smoked over a pack a day Now about a half pack. The only side effect is dreams, they are not bad but never remembered dreaming before. Still haven't set quit date. Still riding out medication and trying to break smoking patterns. I am bipolar and have no mood shift or depression. Looking forward to seeing this thru and being smoke free! Already smoking half as much! Can't wait til day comes I just put them down!"

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Day 8 on Champix. I've smoked for 22 years. For the past year now my smoking has increased from smoking all the years 6-7 per day to double the amount. Side affects: slight nausea after taking pill last around 5-10min.I don't eat breakfast so I just take it with a large glass of water. Bad Constipation, bloating, takes me ages to fall asleep at night and wake up constantly. No bad dreams. I'm eating more and feel hungry all the time. I'm now at the point where I don't go out first thing upon waking in the morning with my coffee to smoke. I love my red wine and I have found that I don't even feel like having wine or drinking since a couple days ago! I can only really smoke half a cig then I have to stub it out. Champix works by slowly reducing my crave to smoke. Each day especially since starting the 1mg twice daily I'm not thinking of smoking and today I only had 3 which is already a big achievement for me. The best thing I've done for myself and my family."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I have been smoke free for 10 weeks now. I have smoked for over 30 years, at least a pack a day, I did not think I would ever kick the habit. Chantix is amazing, after 5 days on the medicine cigarettes were making me feel so sick that I threw them away. I have not slipped up once, I can honestly say I did not miss smoking. I feel so much better, more energy, can smell and taste better. I have had no side effects, no weight gain either, actually a little weight loss probably because I am out walking about more now as I have more stamina. Do not hesitate to try this medicine, it is a lifesaver."

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I used to smoke 2-3 packs a day, I'd have a 15 minute break at work and smoke 3-4 cigarettes in 15 minutes, 10-15 in half an hour, I decided to start champix after my dad passed away due to cancer (unrelated), day 1 of champix I was smoking 46 cigarettes a day, day 2 was similar, day 3 I suddenly didn't want to smoke as much and dropped to 11, day 4 I had 9, day 5 I had 3 and day 7 I had to force myself to smoke 1, day 8 was my first day of being smoke free and it felt like the easiest thing I've ever done in my life thanks to champix, I continued the medication for 2 more months and then quit taking the medication as I did not feel like I needed it anymore, I have now been smoke free for 2 years, because of champix it was the easiest thing"

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I was a heavy smoker for 37 straight years. I decided at 52 years old to finally put this nasty habit behind me once and for all. After talking to my doctor, she recommended Chantix to me as a means to an end. I was a little leary of trying it, I must admit, as I am usually skeptical of big pharma in general. But, I decided to give it a go, because I realize that my smoking habit was obviously bigger than my willpower alone. I'm a little over a month into using Chantix now and haven't touched a cigarette in 5 full days! I have never been able to do that before. I have had ZERO side effects. I am finding it easier with each passing day to resist the urge to smoke. Thank you Chantix, you changed my life very much for the better. Feels like I'm actually winning this fight."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I feel very fortunate to have used this product. I used it for 1 month, 6 years ago and have never looked back. I am so relieved to have quit smoking. It isn't just because of health reasons. There is the price, the smell, and just plain using my time better. And it feels so good to be able to say on medical papers that I quit 6 years ago. I did not have any of the side effects so I feel lucky there. Tracey"

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Been on Champix 12 days now and not smoked for 9 days, since taking the two a day I have had a feeling of nausea in the mornings, that lasts for about and hour and easily managed by sipping water! I have zero cravings or desire to smoke I cannot believe how quickly this has worked for me, I have more vivid dreams but not nightmares. It has been brilliant for me, although I only smoked 8 a day I have tried countless times to quit cold turkey and it has never worked! So far so good I have no intention to return to the cigarettes!"

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "After 45 years of smoking a pack a day plus I decided to try Champix. This is my first serious attempt to quit smoking. I continued smoking during weeks one to five however the number of cigarettes I smoked tapered off drastically. I am now in week seven and am eighteen days smoke free. I will be honest, it is a battle for me since I enjoy my cigarettes. I've almost given up a few times due to cravings and the fact that I am cranky as heck. (I'm chalking the crankiness up to the lack of nicotine in my system) But I haven't caved in yet nor do I plan to. As for the 'side effects' - my dreams are vivid but interesting. I take this medication with food and the recommended full glass of water so I do not feel any nausea. The cravings, well, there's bound to be some. Make sure to have lots of gum or mints on hand! Honestly though, I would recommend Champix to anyone who wants to quit smoking."

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I was a smoker for 65 years. I was a long distance truck driver so occasionally I would smoke 2 or 3 large packs a day. I enjoyed smoking for the most part and worked out quite a few problems smoking a cigarette. Finally for health reasons I was talked into quitting. Through the years I had tried the patch, other types of pills, and acupuncture but nothing worked. I started champix and within 3 weeks the sensations started to fade. Now 8 months smoke free it doesn't bother me sitting with my wife or friends while they smoke. I have no urges or desires to light up. Thank you champix and as soon as we can afford my wife is going to start the system she is so impressed with me."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I'm 76 and have smoked since I was 16 and about 50 years of that was non filtered cigarettes. I took Chantix for 48 days as prescribed and did not smoke at all after the 7th day. I had no side effects for several weeks but after about 40 days on the drug I became extremely moody, had terrible nightmares, a constant headache, and was turning into a very angry person. I stopped the drug on the 48th day and thankfully the side affects went away after about 4 days. Well I've been off Chantix now for 2 weeks, feel great and still am smoke free. For me personally, this drug did suppress any pleasure of smoking but also suppressed any pleasure of anything. Use with caution!"

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "In 2008 after having been a smoker for 49 years and having tried many methods of quitting, I asked my Dr. for a prescription. I took Chantix for 8 days before quitting. I did however carry a half pack with me in case Chantix did not work. I threw them away at the end of the week. it is July 2019 and I haven't wanted a cigarette since I quit. I never experienced any side effect other that a very happy family and fatter paycheck."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "Today is my one year anniversary of being smoke free - thank you Chantix! I took this for 3 months, and weened myself off of it the same way I began it. I also cut the dosage down to one pill a day at the 6-week mark. I checked in with my doctor after a month about depression (this and and the weening off of the medcine I believe are very important to success). I had some tough days, but really clear thinking and the ability to say no when a craving would come over me. I smoked for 35 years...If I can do it, so can you!"

Champix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I stopped smoking after only about 12 days on champix. The only problem was as soon as a doubled the dose As instructed i developed heart arthymia, chest pains, a pain attack leaving me in hospital, and now 6 weeks on I'm paying 1000 for urgent private cardiac assessments to try and save my job, my house, my llife. Finally, symptoms seem to be subsiding a little after 6-7 weeks. Be v v careful people. My advice is stick to half dose ie one in morning, one at night."

Chantix (varenicline) for Smoking Cessation "I love Chantix! It's amazing. Only side effects I had was a little nauseous and some gas, but only if I didn't eat something or drink water with it, very very mild tiredness, nothing a coffee or coke couldn't resolve quickly, and very wild and vivid dreams almost realistic, but to be honest I really enjoyed them. I have like no desire to smoke whatsoever. Strangest/ coolest thing in the world."
