I can remember when I said if they hit a buck thats it for me.Then if they hit 2.50 and you get it.I couldnt get past 10am any morning.Then my addictionoligist asked me in Oct of 2006 "do you want to quit those things" and he gave me Chantix.I had no hope of it working but I figured I would try it as I had faith in him.I started late Oct. and made a date of Nov. 24 my birthday.Well low and behold it worked.They made me feel like crap for about 45 mins after I took them and didnt take them for the whole 12 weeks but I quit I had no faith but they did work.Now I have huge depression problems and I wasnt sober at the time.The reason I say this is Chantix messes with the pleasure center in your brain and when your prone to depression you have to be watched carefully.Oh by the way cigs are over 7 bucks in NYC even up to 9
