Darkeyes..
I'm glad to see this discussion of Chantix. I'm still a smoker, but my doc gave me a prescription for Chantix, which I have yet to fill. I too was wondering if it is effective, and also side-effects as well as weight gain. I'm already 50 pounds overweight!
I have tried everything...patches and gum, as well as cold turkey. I found that the gum really did havoc with the gums in my mouth, so I'm wondering how you have fared being on the gum so long?
This nicotine addiction is a *****!
I asked my doctor if the Chantix would interfere with the Paxil I take, and he said "No." I would like to hear more about this, though.
