Chantix Can Help You Live A Heartier Life By Stopping The Craving For Cigarettes
How many of you out there smoke cigarettes? And how many of you out there has had a cardiac episode, or procedure in the last few years? You know where I am going with this. Do I even have to say it out loud? Smoking is just no good for your heart health.
If you want to quit, but just don’t know where to start, why don’t you give your internist a call! There is a relatively new prescription to combat that addiction. Chantix is prescribed by your doctor and is proven effective. I see it used in practice, as well as on some of the nurses I work with. They have all raved about it.
Now, I don’t smoke. I have never used this medication, but it might be worth that $10 co-pay to get the information on it. Have any of you tried it? What did you think? Did you suffer any side effects?
Like all medications, Chantix is not for everyone. Oh my, I sound like a television commercial! Let me know what you think.

On day 12 of Chantix
Does it keep nicotine from getting into my brain’s pleasure center? - YES
Does it reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms? - Other than a brief, 6 hour period on Day 9, NO, it has not reduced my craving for nicotine; I’ve had to get through it on my own.
