My Captain used it and he was a 3 pack a day smoker, this July will be 2 years since he has quit and he swears by it and keeps encouraging me to use it to quit.

My son in law use it and he quit. My daughter tried and she was such a grouch and was screaming at everybody all the time that she quit using it.

I had another friend that was on it but he didn't tell me. He was acting funny so I asked him if he was taking any new drugs, he had been on Chantix for 2 months and asked me why I asked. I asked him if he was having any side effects and he said he wasn't... "WHY?".. I told him yes he was and that is when I found that first sight I am going to post.. He started reading and got SO MAD! That was the last day he took them. It had changed his whole personality and was causing him a lot of unexplained pain.

I was all set to try it but researched it on the internet first and there are MANY people that it has altered their lives in the worst way. Side effects that do not go away when they get off of them and are now in pain 24/7 because of it. In some people it seems to wake up pain receptors and once they're woke up, you can't cut them off..

Go here and read away at what it does to some people.. http://forums.wrongdiagnosis.com/showthread.php?t=2301

Here is a good sight that you should check out before you start trying to quit, it explaines a lot and teaches you a lot about the process.. My eyes aren't good enough yet to read much but once they are normal again, I am going to read everything in there..

Point is to make an informed decision and learn what to watch out for if you do decide to take it..http://www.whyquit.com/ The OBJECT is to PREPARE and learn BEFORE you start! Did you know your sugar level drops when you quit? This sight explains why and what to do about it...Plus a LOT more..

(I already know that I am Miss Side Effects Queen and if a drug has side effects, I will experience the worst of them and as much as I want to quit smoking and want to take this, I will suffer the worst of the side effects if I do so I am going to try all other options out there and leave this one alone)
