will help the withdrawal symptoms... helps you get them really fast and really intensely !!!!
Chantix is a nicotine blocker, any nicotine in your system is blocked from working. The mental side effects from it are very similar to nicotine withdrawal and were only really found once it was given to a lot of people with nicotine habits and not so much in early testing on NON-smokers.
For this reason, the manufacturer recommends a lower dose and not trying to quit in the first week on chantix to ease into it. Personally, I give people the information and try NOT to put people who are on over a pack a day onto it (and recommend it to people who are down to UNDER 1 pack per day).
