The First Day

Todays the first day with out Chantix and I am a little worried how I'm going to feel today. I have chosen to skip the last month of medication because I really don't like taking the stuff. I have not gotten any good sleep since I've been taking Chantix. Maybe its all the dreams or what ever but my eyes are all ways very tired looking, and I feel like I need some good sleep.

This last week I have been slowly cutting down my dosage like this;
Mon. 1Mg morning
1Mg night

Tues. 1Mg morning
.5 Mg night

Wed. .5 Mg morning
.5 Mg night

Thur. .5 Mg morning
.5 mg night

Fri. .5 Mg noon

Sat. .5 Mg noon

Sun. .5 Mg after noon

I did this to ween my self off chantix because I have noticed when I forgot to take it in the past I had some pretty bad withdraws. I would be mad or sad, its was a lot like when I would stop smoking cold turkey. But to day is going fine, no withdraws so far.

I feel a lot better off chantix, but I am so glad I took it. It was a hard road but not as hard quiting with out anything.
