Quitting smoking with Chantix - Page 3

Yes a little, i am still very jumpy, not jumpy as in annoyed or startled, just easily excited. It definately changed my behavior from day 1, not for better or worse, just changed.

Sadly no, more realistic than usual, and they seem more real when I wake up but nothing more memorable than anything else. i think last night it was about driving cars around california.

Chantix is the devil lol.

I tried Chantix for about 6 weeks and urge everyone I know to stay away from it. However reading so far it seems you are one of the rare 1%. I will say though it does make you stop smoking, completely kills the urge and when you do light up it tastes like shit and you quickly stop, until around week 2 or 3 I started smoking maybe 1-2 a day as compared to a pack but it was also a very stressful time for me.

DO NOT DRINK!!!!!
I can't stress this enough, I had mood swings on Chantix but they were manageable unless I had been drinking then it was fucking insane depression to rage to euphoria etc

Other side effects I noticed were the dreams, which fucking rocked (think of being IN a dream where you have complete control over what happens)

For some reason I was always fucking horny. Even my near nympho GF at the time said it was a bit much.

Also another tip for you which you have probably figured out is you HAVE to eat before you take it. When I didn't I would get crippling nausea for about 5 min, was horrible. But if you eat 20 minutes before it doesn't happen.

GL with quitting I will be watching this as I still smoke and am thinking about giving Chantix one more go since I know longer have a lot of the things that triggered my side effects in my life.
