smoking cessation
"I started Chantix 8 days ago; on 1st day of 1mg twice a day. I'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'd like me around to see their children and knew I had to quit. I really enjoyed smoking; I called it "me time". I've found other ways to give myself a break; reading and exercising. Already I don't want to smoke as they taste nasty. I was worried a bit as I am bipolar - but psych MD prescribed and haven't had any increase in those symptoms. I would suggest that you talk to all your doctors if you have psych conditions; it doesn't hurt to try. You can quit."
