prescriptions to stop smoking

AKaeTrue · Feb 18, 2008, 06:54 AM

Has anyone taken prescription drugs to stop smoking
or know someone who has?
Did it work?

Have you or someone you know successfully quit smoking?
If so, what method was used?

Thanks

Chantix worked for me I quit last October. I quit alot of things is my life but I needed the medication to help with this one.

Thanks always, another success story!!!

Everyone who has quit with Chantix, who hasn't already told us, how was it prescribed?
I've noticed that doctors prescribe the medication based on the individual
and everyone seems to have a different quiting plan with it.

My Doc perscribed me enough for 12 weeks. I only took it for 6 weeks though. I was could have used the online support but didn't. It was weird because the medication literally made me forget about smoking.

akae true, the perscription was to continue smoking for a week or so. .5 twice daily for 3 days, then 1 twice daily. Honestly I was ready to quit after the first 3 days. Smoking was doing nothing for me. I continued for a week anyway. * was great 9 is looking fine.

Thanks Robert!!!, Thanks Start!!!

Going on a stroll down memory lane...
Last summer my kids and I pulled into a bank parking lot.
There was a cigarette butt can at the door with a sign on it that read "Butts".
My 7 year daughter said, "Mommy why does that thing have the word Butts on it".
I told her that the end of cigarettes are called butts and thats where people put there cigarettes out at before they go inside.
My 4 year old son started pointing at me and laughing uncontrollably and said, "you put butts in your mouth

"
They didn't let me live that one down for a long time

My kids, LOL, I love em!!!

Thanks Start, nothing as yet with any new appendages, but I am getting a lot of unwanted attention.

I finished the first three days taking one pill, today I start taking two per day. Remember that I am to continue smoking for a bout two weeks then stop...sooooo we will see.
