Mrmagic,, did you have bad withdrawal symptoms with chantix? I have two more days than the 8th day suppose to lay them down and never pick up,,, I have really cut back already as they are tasting pretty bad,, but also I was on bupropion sr for smoking about 1month before starting chantix,,, i stayed on bupropion and take it early morning, chantix mid, and same in evening,, seems to really be helping, but past few days i have had from 3 to 10 cig per day, which better than 2 packs,,, but wondering after the 8th day if symptoms get bad,,,,, know everyone different but symptoms lot alike
