Day 49 - Six Weeks Smoke Free

Report for Feb. 11, 2008

Days taking Chantix: 42
Days left: 35
Percent Complete: 58%
End Date: March 24

Smoked? no
Cigarettes Not smoked: 840
Money Saved: $168

Cravings: I Still have a few every day but they pass very quickly now.

Side Effects: I am still tired! I could go take a nap right now. This side effect won't seem to go away but at least it is not getting worse. Also, I feel like my vision is being altered a little bit. My eyes are really sensitive to bright lights and I feel sometimes like I have to force my eyes to focus.

Comments: I am going to ask my doctor about coming off Chantix soon. The directions say nothing but "take for 12 weeks." I have read where some people have some side effects when they stop taking it. It seems like there should be a weaning off period or something. The Chantix website doesn't have much to say on that subject either. I'll post what I find out.

Bye for now!

My friend who also took Chantix suggested cutting the pills in half the last couple weeks. I'm sure your doctor will be helpful.
