It's a bit long but has some very detailed and good information about the drug. A good read if you have the time. Seems as if a few people on here have been talking about it for sometime so I decided to look it up get the low down. Like I said I don't put anything in my body unless I research it first and after reading this story NO WAY would I put that pill in me. But again to each there own.
Take Care,
Erick _________________

I took it for 5 weeks. I would urge anyone thinking about it to consult with multiple doctors. It took me a very long time to feel normal again and I didn't even take the full dose. I feel lucky that nothing really bad happened to me... _________________

That was a pretty crazy article. It is nice to have someone put in writing some of what I was feeling while on Chantix. Some of it was a bit much, but the descriptions of hallucinations, dreaming, and general screwed-up-ness were right on. Scary stuff, Chantix is. I did stop taking it. I can't believe I took it as long as I did with the way I was feeling. I decided I would try to quit all on my own, and I did. October 14=last cigarette. I am truly happy for the people that it has worked for and had minimal or no side effects, but I really cannot believe this stuff is still available. |
