Hello, All-

Today is my 8th day on Chantix (my quit date!) For the last 5 or so days, even while smoking, I have had a headache, aches, and a sore throat. I thought I had a bug, but it's not going away (in fact, it is worse today.) Does anyone know if you in fact withdrawal from nicotine while still smoking on Chantix? I know it blocks nicotine from the brain, so I thought that might be what's going on. Also, do these symptoms seem like normal withdrawal symptoms? I quit once on the patch, and had the sore throat, but that was it (of course, I was still receiving nicotine...)

Thanks!!
