I quit the Chantix 5 days after I completely stopped smoking. For the nausea I only took it before bed and only 1/2 of the prescribed dose.

Congratulations on not smoking!

I took Chantix for 118 days. At approximately day 60 I reduced the dose to 1 pill a day. For the last 3 days, I took 1/2 mg a day. Your best odds for success is to stay with it for 6 months. I stopped earlier due to side effects - primarily not being able to sleep. I encourage you to go to Quitnet.com and join the Chantix Users Club. Great support and immediate response for encouragement and inspiration. I have now been smoke free for 131 days after smoking for 41 years.

Congratulations on 131 days of being smoke free! Today I am 17 days smoke free. I am going to check out Quitnet.com. Doesn't it feel great to be a non-smoker!
