Short and sweet
Smoked for 20 years used chantix to quit- took it for 30 days only. I have not had a cigarette for 3 weeks now and I have single handily caused all around me to hate me. Very bad mood swings and just agitation to the point I just want to be by myself because a simple question from a loved one is now a burden to me.

At first I thought these mood swings were due to chantix but the more I research I relize it’s just a very normal quitters reaction and I’m pretty much right in the middle of when this post says those side effects will appear. Great !!!!

I thought that I beat the urge to smoke so I was happy, not realizing that just because I don’t smoke does not mean the quitting struggles are over in fact the urge to have a cigarette does not appear as a craving for a cigarette it appears when you yell at your wife to the point of divorce for eating all the chips, i did not realize this until I read this post and others like it advising us quitters that this is not only common but probable to us. Wanted to share my story hope it helps. So much for short and sweet, hopefully it’s still sweet, good luck to all, I’m going to buy some chips.

Thank you, reading this information helped me to NOT go storming off to the shop for a packet of smokes. I’m sure to return to your site when the next craving/ withdrawal symptom hits.
