Day 63 - Two Months Smoke Free

Report for March 3, 2008

Days taking Chantix: 63
Days left: 21
Percent Complete: 75%
End Date: March 24

Smoked? no
Cigarettes Not smoked: 1120
Money Saved: $224

Cravings: No real change. Cravings are manageable and infrequent.

Side Effects: Lately my stomach has been getting more upset after I take the pill. Even if I drink plenty of water and eat. I'm still in the Chantix "fog" It is a struggle sometimes to focus and I am still pretty tored most of the time.

Comments: I spoke to my doctor about tapering off Chantix and that I had read that some people have experienced side effects when they quit taking it. He said that only about 3% of people have reported side effects and that they are generally no worse than the effects of taking the pill. I'm just ready to stop taking them.

Cool! I bet a month ago, you were worried about coming off Chantix...and now you can't wait to stop taking it. Maybe the foggy side-effect is part of the strategy. Congrats on the pub crawl!
