This new Chantix prescription

I swear this new prescription is not the same strength! Within 24 hours of taking the new prescription my cravings returned and they continue. I'm going to have to make a trip to the pharmacy cause this just isn't right. I'm having the kind of urges/cravings I have experienced without any medication, like you want to hurt someone to get a cigarette, like I'm a dope fiend or something - this is horrible!!!!!
I'm not ready for this and I'm afraid I'm going to start smoking again - HELP!!!!! No I haven't smoked a cigarette but I've been tempted more in the last 3 days than I've been since I quit just shy of 4 weeks ago. DAMN IT!!

I'm an addict and I understand I will always be one cigarette away from my pack a day habit.
I vow (hopefully I can keep this vow) to not smoke today.

Awhhh...sorry you're going through this. I don't think it's your prescription though, I just think that it's that part of the quit. Like I said previously, I started going through the same thing at about 4 wks.

Keep up the fight and keep going!

Give me strength Sue cause I'm going nuts here!!
I checked the chantix pills and they clearly have 1mg imprinted on each pill.
I guess you are right.
Does this go away??? Please say it does!
