Anyone out here that has been off of chantix for a while? I've been off for about two months and wondered how it goes for others off of it.

All is well. Still have craves once in a while, but more of a passing thought. I've gained some weight even with working out, so trying to rev up my metabolism again. When I went off Chantix, I "weaned myself" off just reverse of the beginning starter pack and it seemed to help.

Hi Beth,

I'm not that much ahead of you. Today I have been smokefree for 6 months. I'm not having any problems. I have no desire to smoke. Don't ask me how I know it, but I just know that I will never smoke again. I also know that I can never take even one puff of a cigarette. If I do I'll be back smoking a pack or more a day. I put on some weight AFTER I got off the Chantix. But I really think that was just Thanksgiving and Christmas weight gain. I've been dieting and exercising and have lost the 15 pounds I put on. Now I'm working on the other 50 pounds that I need to lose. UGH!
Life is good for me!!
