Wow thats quite distressing ... I know myself when I try to give up it is
hard enough without the drugs that are meant to help being that dangerous.


I gave up "giving up" after I was hypnotised.... Dont know what it did to me
but i ended up crying non stop till I had a smoke

What does Chantrix do exactly? Never had a smoke in my life so curious
to know what the deal is.

It blocks the nicotine receptors and also decreases the quantity of them. Once beginning the medication if one chooses to take a smoke it has no uptake effect on the receptor's; therefore, the urge to smoke is useless. Side effects reported by most are Gastrointestinal related & odd dreaming patterns. Mainly noticed for myself was the drowsiness since I had no experience with changes in dreams or nausea as others reported. I also did not experience any of the FDA warnings of suicidal thoughts, etc. Just severe fatigue; however, it did work. I found decreasing the dosage worked best--I did not require high amounts and could actually skip to alternate days rather than daily. Additionally the regime is for a long period of time, I did not need all that long...6 weeks was sufficient.

If one never smoked a day, best off to never try!!!!

Yeah, glad I never tried. When younger I was very sacred that something like
that would effect the athletic performance and with age the performance had
another incentive other than self pride so I was always very cautious around
anything like that. That is good information though.

Conversely, this is why I put the update up...I know it has been of question for sometime. However, if monitored, the trade off in some may outweigh the risks but I did not think you smoked that much.

Perhaps the best targeted audience are those who are chain-smokers!
