Excellent Jim, you 'da man!! Would be interested in hearing your reactions/experiences on how this new medication works versus, say, the patch?

So far it is so much better then the patch. I used the patch and Welbutrin the last time I stopped and the Welbutrin doesn't sit well with me. The first two days after stopping were the only real hard ones so far and they weren't that bad. The insane cravings went away a lot faster. Chantix is a three month program that comes with a 24/7 hot line for a year.
