Does the drug Chantix Really Work for Smoking Cessation?

Does the drug Chantix Really Work for Smoking Cessation?I just read an article about a new drug introduced by Phifezer called "Chantix". Supposedly it helps smokers to stop smoking by working w/some receptors in the brain that trigger a craving. Has anyone tried it? What was your experience w/it? Would you recommend it? It's a little pricy at about $ 169 online........thanks!
Wow, awesome! Sounds promising. I am interested in this for my boyfriend. He has smoked for about 20 years - 1 pack a day. He has a genuine interest in quitting; he's even gone cold turkey for a couple of days, but he gets extremely crabby and ends up smoking again. Is there a good web site where I can purchase it from at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Yes, I personally have used it. I have been smoke free for 6 1/2 months now and I smoked for 8 years. You take 1 weeks worth of doses while smoking and then on the 7th day your not supposed to smoke. Then you keep taking a once daily pill for however long you need up to 6 months. I had little to no cravings and NO WITHDRAWAL symptoms such as headache, crabby, etc. I just ate a little more. The only side effects that bothered me where crazy movie like dreams and stomach upset sometimes. It was well worth it. You can take it up to 6 months to help you quit. I only needed to take it for 2 months though. I still have cravings once in a while but why start again the nicotine is out of my system and the craving only lasts seconds to a couple minutes. Chantix is very popular now. It works!

FDA say that Chantix is superior than other medicines like Zyban (bupropion).
But, is very important to be motivated to stop smoking. You have to choose a "quit date" to start the treatment.
