Really nervous about quit day

tmp-147586187501197

Tommorow is my quit day, actually it is just the day DH and I will begin our quit smoking drugs. In an effort to find my Chantix perscription cheaper I googled it and came across a wealth of scary artciles about the side effects of taking Chantix. I now have officially made myself even more nervous to quit smoking!

Is Chantix the one where you gradually stop smoking and then gradually stop taking the pills?  If so my BF did that and it worked wonders for her, no crazy side effects at all!  If people listened to the side effects labels, nobody would be taking BCP, antibiotics, or even Tylenol.  Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health.

You can do it Grace!  Stay strong, we won't let you slip    It's great that you guys have set this date and you're doing it together...that will definitely help to have a companion thru the process.  GL!

Yup DI that is Chantix. Thanks for telling me that. It helps to hear about real peoples experiences. The stuff I am reading is all about lucid dreams, farting, dizziness and sweating. Quite scary. It is good to be reminded any drug you take could have wierd side effects.

Remember, the benefits outweigh the risks when it comes to taking medicine. You should see the side effects of one of the meds I'm taking. It would scare you silly and make you not want to touch it. But I have to, cause if I don't, what could happen is much worse. You'll be fine when you quit. it's going to be hard and difficult, but I have faith that you can do it. My aunt quit about 3 or 4 years ago after smoking the majority of her life. Now she's turned off by the smell. You can do it!!!

I have also heard great things about Chantix.

Try not to worry about the side effects and just keep focusing on what a great thing you are doing for your body!

Grace- think of it this way....you wont smell like cigarettes anymore, just farts :-)

All kidding aside, no side effect is more scary that the effects of smoking, right?

I am proud of you and your DH for making this (seriously) life altering and extending step in your lives.

If you plan to have kids- they thank you too :-)

You can do it!  I work in the cardiology dept and we give chantix to all our pts that leave after we fix their hearts.  I have heard dozens of stories about how these people now can't stand smoking and can't believe they ever did.  A coworker of mine's DH took it - went from 3pks a day to nothing in 6wks.  You are going to do great..  Think of all the money you're going to save!!!!  I smell a shopping trip in your near future!

You can do it!!  One of the girls I used to work with took Chantix and other than a couple crazy (like crazy good) dreams, she had no side effects and quit successfully!!

You can do it Grace!  Even if you're farting up a storm, I'll still do dinner with you next week or whenever. Good luck!
