smoking cessation
"I am 37 yrs old and I was diagnosed with MS 7 years ago. Studies show that smoking can worsen lesions on the brain with MS. I have smoked for 20   years, 1   pack a day. I started Chantix on Oct 27, 2009 (starter pack) & My quit day was Nov 3, 2008. I usually have my 1st smoke within 10 minutes after waking up. That morning, I didn't smoke. And I haven't since. This drug makes me not want to smoke. I do still crave the habit of lighting up. It drives me insane. So I have lit a cigarette twice now, didn't inhale, put it out right away, almost puked from the smell and taste but had to get it out of my system. The worst side effect for me is nausea. 20 minutes after I take the pill, it hits me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHANTIX!"
