Well, Pamy, you know smoking is dehydrating, so maybe that is it. Plus, you are no longer worried to death how you are going to get in your smokes while having meetings.

I find that when I get up in the morning is the worst. I still want a cig first thing with my coffee. The rest of the day is not near as bad as that first thing in the morning. Today is day 3 so I'm hoping that when I start taking one at night, the first thing every morning will curb. I didn't have a cig last after about 7, I went to bed and read and I don't smoke in my bedroom. But dang, this morning it was like I wasn't even trying to quit. sigh.

I understand that, Granny. When I quit, I also had to quit coffee for that very reason.

Switch to tomato juice in the morning? Grapefruit juice? Pomegranate juice and club soda? Then maybe coffee later. Break the old cycle and get a new routine that is not associated with cigarettes.

Yay quitters!!!! Way to go Ladies!!!

I had the same experience as Lady. When I quit, I had to give up coffee. Too much of a trigger. Now I love my tea!

I found that if I brushed my teeth, I wouldn't want to smoke, because the minty of the toothpaste and the smoke just left a NASTY taste in my mouth. I started carrying my toothbrush, floss, and paste everywhere with me in my purse. After a meal at an eatery, I'd go in the restroom and brush up real quick and then I would NOT want a cigarette.

Might not work for some, but helped me.

The Chantix label does caution against alcohol use, but it does not warn that drinking alcohol while taking Chantix could lead to violent or suicidal behavior. Furthermore, Chantix’s reaction with alcohol has not been studied in clinical trials.

Here is the article but it might be biased due to the fact of the lawsuit.

Had to chuckle about the coffee bit - won't be giving that up anytime soon but I have noticed that I can no longer drink my coffee black and strong! How strange is that?

Serate, that's the article I found. I wondered if it was biased too. And how much did the guy drink? Was he drunk or just had a drink or two. I wonder if the Starbucks latte would work? I may try that in the morning to see if it does.

is half trying to tell me she started drinking Red Bull? for the caffeine or the energy boost???? lol

Since Chantix works much like an anti-depressant, it comes with the same type of warning against the use of alcohol. You can do some searches on SSRIs and alcohol use if you want to explore it further. It can exacerbate depressive symptoms and interfere with the way the medication works on the chemicals in the brain.

Granny, also remember they are easing you into the proper dosage...you are only taking 1 pill...you arent even into the 2 times day dose...dont worry about wanting to smoke this week...you still will........but next week or week after you wont want one was as bad as you do right now....dont try and rush it
