This is my second try with Chantix. I took it about 9 months ago and did quit for 2 months. However I quit taking the Chantix a couple weeks after I quit smoking, so I only took it for 5 weeks. You are supposed to take Chantix for 3 - 6 months. After a couple months I was smoking again. I also hadn't decided for sure that I was ready to quit the first time and I think that made a big difference.
I also feel the desire to smoke increase when I have a couple drinks. The two kinda go hand in hand. I'm taking Chantix to quit smoking and I do like the side effects that it reduces my desire to drink excessively as well.
I know that there have been some reports of serious side effects though, so definitely wouldn't suggest anyone taking this without having their doctor involved.
