Chantix (non-smkg aid)

[Edwina's Secretary]

I used some drug (don't remember which - it has been 10 years) to quit.

It worked and I have no regrets. But I will say the sleeplessness for me was terrible. I had to quit using it way short of the prescribed time because of not being able to sleep...at all...but it worked.

And...at the end of the day...that is what mattered.

It was probably Zyban, which I believe was the first of the bad news drugs used as an aid to quit - and I speak from experience when I say "bad news" - very serious bad news!!!!

IMO - cold turkey is the only way to go, and I'd rather suffer those side effects than the potential effects of those poisonous drugs.

I had the same effects when I tried to use Zyban too.. After the 3rd day of not sleeping I quit using it and went back to smoking. That stuff was WICKED! Soon as I took the first Zyban, I started getting depressed, couldn't eat and all sorts of stuff...That is why I checked out Chantix before I made a decision to try it and from what I have read, Chantix would be worse for me than Zyban was.

Yup...it was Zyban!
