I quit in June with Chantix....Best damn way to quit ever. It's not an antidepressant that HAPPENS to help you quit smoking...it's a pill that first and foremost is made to help you quit smoking.
You smoke for a week while taking the pill, then wham, no more, no more cravings, no jonesing, no headaches, no edginess, no crappy detox for the first few days while the nicotine leaves your system, none of the side effects that you normally associate with any smooking cessastion product!
And definitly no "tingly itchiness" either.
You take the pill for 3 months, after the first week you take one in the morning and one in the afternoon...the dosage changes over time.
The only "side effect" i had is some minor dizziness on occasion...kinda like a tinge of nausea, like if you spun in a chair a couple times and stopped...nothing major.
(when that happened i ate some candied ginger, which I got a pound of at the bulk food store.)
I also sucked on atomic fireballs and other cinamon candies like BK did.
I can't rave highly enough about Chantix....it beats ALL the other products hands down.
Good luck
I have quit many times before and this is the first time that feels like it will stick...for one thing..
