Smoking Cessation
"I started Chantix 8 days ago; on 1st day of 1mg twice a day. I&#039;ve only had nausea. Cigarettes taste terrible. I was smoking 1 to 1-1/2 packs a day for over 30 years. Quit once cold turkey but mom died and started smoking again. Quit once with pregnancy but started again after delivery. My kids said they&#039;d like me around to see their children and knew I had to quit. I really enjoyed smoking; I called it &quot;me time&quot;. I&#039;ve found other ways to give myself a break; reading and exercising. Already I don&#039;t want to smoke as they taste nasty. I was worried a bit as I am bipolar - but psych MD prescribed and haven&#039;t had any increase in those symptoms. I would suggest that you talk to all your doctors if you have psych conditions; it doesn&#039;t hurt to try. You can quit."
