lightningd Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wanted to pass this on to all. The VA is now supplying Chantix for quitting smoking if you have tried at least two other therapies. See link below. Chantix available at VA hospitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deesulpwr Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Man this stuff is great. I smoked for 14 years and took this Chantix for one month (supposed to take it for 3 months) but I really wanted to quit and it works. I have been smoke free for 11 mos. If you REALLY want to quit this stuff is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningd Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 I just noticed that the link I supplied didn't work in my first post. That article tells you how to get the med through the VA if your doctor says they don't prescribe it. Here's the link again. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/466399/chantix_available_at_us_veterans_hospitals.html I hope you are right, because tomorrow will be my first day of not smoking. I take the last pill in the first week tonite. Man this stuff is great.

Deesulpwr Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My doc told me to smoke for the first 7 days taking the medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deesulpwr Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 sorry I read your post wrong. I wish you all the luck in the world it has been great for me except I put on 30 lbs because food tastes better. Get some sugar free gum and when you get that feeling chew it up. My dad asked me if I had gotten my gum out of the toilet, I said no why, he said your chewing the s**t out of it! I asked him which was better, gum or smokes...........he shut up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted December 8, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 8, 2007 Please don't drink while you are taking this medication. In Dallas a young musician after taking it and drinking was killed by a homeowner when he was beating on the door cause he thought it was his house. The kid was 6'6" and the homeowner shot high to scare the crazy person. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
