...also, the only side effects listed that I've personally experienced are non-stop, crazy ass dreams. And not the good kind either....so I've been pretty damn tired, but it's been worth it so far.
Chantix
It's not a miracle drug, but it's been pretty amazing so far. It does what the patch, Nicorette gum and Zyban couldn't do ... by a long shot, and I've tried them all.
I found out about it by accident, read all I could find, and then went to talk to my doctor. He told me it's had an 80% success rate in the people he's prescribed it for.
So, if you're serious ... it's kind of pricy (although not more than Zyban) and my insurance didn't cover it (but did give me a discount)....it's better than anything I've ever tried. And I've smoked for over 20 years.
This also is supposed to work for alcoholism.

SW, did you ever pick up that book I mentioned to you a while back?
You can do it!
If I can do it, anyone can, and I haven't had a smoke in over two years after a serious 2 pack a day, twelve year Camel habit.
How much?
thats actually a very common side-effect with these types of things. i got a friend who would fall asleep with a nicotine patch on and he said he had some of the wildest, craziest most tripped out dreams ever. i'll pass. and lol @ the only side effect.... sounds pretty ed up to me.
Thanks for the info.

I've been wanting to quit . . . . but, I don't want to give alcohol just yet.
Alcohol is my friend.
She treats me right.
At first I forgot about it, then remembered some time during the playoffs when search was disabled ... then forgot again.
This stuff is amazing ... it's contains no nicotine, so if you smoke when you take it you won't OD on it, but it works by:
1.) it (permanently) attaches itself to the same reactors in your brain that release the dopamine that nicotine does ... so when you take a drag off of a cigarette, you don't get the same immediate rush.
2.) it makes cigarettes smell and taste like the nastiest imaginable, and since added to that you're not getting the rush from it ... eventually your brain starts going "WTF?" and you go longer and longer between cigarettes, until you completely stop altogether...which is where I'm at, and no wigging at all.
funny... i always thought cigarettes did a good job of leaving that impression on their own.
It's a 12 week program ... the first month was $114.99, the next 2 months are about $130.00...and my doctor said he'd extend the prescription if I need him to.
But considering a carton of cigarettes is hovering around $40.00, that's not too bad in the long run.
Feel free to leave the thread if you don't have anything positive to contribute.
feel free to ignore my posts if you decide to ignore them based off of their legitimacy.
Any worse than the proven effects of cigarettes?
That's kinda pricey, but the cigs are getting kinda pricey too.
I'll have to think about it.
That was not a legitimate statement if you are talking to people who smoke, which is who this thread was addressed to.
Anyway ... I just happened upon it by accident, so I thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who might want to check it out...because so far I've been able to quit with hardly any withdrawl symptoms, and it's getting easier every day. And I've smoked for over 20 years, so it's not like I haven't tried to quit 5646513216542131 times already.
I think when I finally quit, I must have spent at least $1500 on patches, gum, Zyban, etc., all through the various times I tried to stop smoking.
awesome sw!
About the side effect of crazy dreams.
Booze related rather than cig related. I'm a daily drinker and if I don't drink for some reason or another I have crazy violent nightmares. There have been times when I actually make it a point to drink 3 or 4 before bed just to get a good sound sleep. I'm willing to bet it has more to do with withdrawl vs the drug itself.
Any word on if it will help with smokeless tobacco? (snuff)?
Mary Jane is my friend. She makes me feel good without slowly killing me.
It's possible, since it's still nicotine. It hijacks the receptors in your brain that make the nicotine (and alcohol) effective.
I'll never believe that putting any kind of smoke into your lungs isn't harmful.
That might be a good indication that you should consider stopping ... that can't be good.
don't mind atxrocker, he's just lashing out now to compensate for all the ass rapings he received in prison.
You know what worked for me? The Bodies Exhibition. Seeing a real pair of smoker's lungs right in front of my face was enough to make me throw away my pack and never buy another.

Yeah, that's pretty gruesome. You'd think that'd be enough to make anyone quit.
