| First day smoke free
I have been on Chantix for 5 days now, and today was my first day not smoking a pack a day for almost 24 years. I was terrified to take this medication, due to all the bad side effects, and also I have a phobia about taking meds, along with a panic disorder. I am so happy to say that I have had very little side effects from the pill. I started out taking it with food and water because so many say if you don't you'll get sick, now I only take it with coffee and I feel fine. For all of us who smoke for so long we know the cravings cold turkey are unbearable and on a scale of one to ten -they're an eleven!!! But with Chantix they are about a two. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and marking off days smoke free on a calendar. I will keep posting my success or failures. For anyone who is contemplating taking this -Im paranoid and I take it and it works great!
