Day four on Chantix………………………….

Well here we are on day #4 of my attempt to quit smoking using Chantix. I’ve only been taking the .5mg dosage once a day so far (as per the directions), and am now going to start taking a second .5mg dose in the afternoon (again, as per instructions). So far everything is going well. I have not had any adverse effects from the medicine, no depression, no vivid dreams, no mood swings…nada. But I suppose that could all change once I double my dose to 1mg a day.
I will let you know right now that yesterday at 2:30p.m. I smoked what was the last cigarette in my pack during the ride home from work. I have not had one since. I do have a slight urge or craving for one, but not a strong enough urge to make me ask someone to bum me a smoke. That is a pretty big deal to me. The last time I quit the craving were about this strong after having not smoked for about 2-3 weeks, and I am already at this level after only 4 days!

That’s cool.

Well, stay tuned tomorrow for an update after switching to 1mg doses…could be interesting! Or not. ;)
