To answer your questions, the chantix really seems to help with cravings. Of course I have them but not severe, and can talk myself out of the idea. Im sure if you take the full dose it would be even easier, but I've cut my pills in half because of the nausea. I'm hoping I can try full dose soon...maybe I'll adjust!

karyn, great to see you coming home again. do it whenever you are ready. i still think that deep breaths pursing your mouth like you are drawing on a cig has helped me. sounds stupid but whatever it takes.

Dot, I am really worried about the nausea, but I guess will deal with it. How has your sleeping been? I had horrible problems with that last time.
You are doing awesome I cant wait to come back right behind you!
Thanks for the info.
Batman, thanks so much, you were always on my side and helping me, so I am sure I am going to need it here soon.
It is going to be sooner than later, so get ready here I come. ;D

Karyn, you can deal with the nausea....you may not even have it. I manage ok if I don't take the pill too close to a meal. I know they say full stomach and big glass of water, but for me it's best if I just have a small amount and maybe a cracker. This way, the worst is just a little queasy feeling which soon passes. I had a bad time sleeping when I did the patches. But I'm not a good sleeper anyway. One or two night-time tylenol (cheap brand tho) gets me through the night.
Do you work outside the home? Fortunately, I'm here all day, and have many things to keep me occupied. But somedays I just flit from one to the other.
You KNOW you want to quit, so stop dragging your feet! We can do this together.
Dot, at the end of day 10

Thanks for the info Dot! Wow day 10 (well now day 14) is great. Yes I know I want to do this just got to get there again. I went through major changes last time so kind of dragging my feet. Yes I work outside the home, which wont be my biggest obsticle, it will be the mornings and socializing with friends outside of work. I am amazed and really you are doing great, and I still am right behind you. But I need to get on it soon or you will be getting your 1 year way before me.  |
