Quitting Smoking using Chantix & Weird Chantix Dreams by Sharice Paris

I quit smoking on January 11th, starting Chantix one week before my quit date as directed. I have gone down to 0-2 a day not even trying. I know the times I smoke are just my stupid resistance to giving up the habit. My hubby smokes so they are always around, that makes it harder. But the physical CRAVING to smoke isn't there, and I don't really enjoy it when I do. Not like when you haven't had a smoke in too long, then you finally have one and... AHHhhhhhh! There is no ahhhhh, only regret for smoking it all. So I didn't smoke at all today. That is good.

The first thing my Dr. told me when she prescribed Chantix was, "Be ready for some very weird dreams!" So I looked it up and found some pretty funny ones. That's when I decided to blog mine. It was more incentive for me to quit cuz I got all excited about it. My dreams have been weird and unusal, not scary like feared. Not yet anyway...

They are really vivid and pretty easy to remember. It's almost like I have an alternate life when I'm sleeping. My memories from dreams seem real. I hope it gets even better. I've only been on it for a few weeks out of the 3 months (I think) you're supposed to stay on it.

The only negative side effects I've had were nausea and extreme sleepiness the first 2 weeks. But I seem to be ok now. My mood even seems slightly elevated. I don't even think about smoking most the time. Hopefully I've smoked my last one :)
