Chantix KILLS ME !! - Page 2 - E-Cigarette Forum

VaporInTheWind · 12-14-2009, 10:49 PM

I took Chanitx for 69 days and I was off the analogs after 1 week, but then I started to have these huge anger fits. I didn't want to kill myself, just everyone around me. It finally hit my family that this was not working and my husband gave me a pack of cigs and took the chantix away. That stuff is evil and it should be studied a lot more. I am on Wellbutrin now partly due to the residual effects of the chantix. Don't take it. Vaping is so much easier. It only took 3 days to get off the analogs and tapering is easy.

I used chantix for 2 weeks, stopped analogs and started on my PV,took the chantix 2 more weeks (weaning dose) and have not even had an urge for analogs since. My emotions were crazy for about a week after I stopped chantix, while I took it my stomach was messed up. But I wanted to be sure I quit analogs this time. In June this year I tried just the PV and still craved analogs. Last year I tried Chantix alone and got down to 1 analog a day but back to 2 packs a day after I stopped it. This time I used both and it worked for me finally.

Buddy of mine was on Chantix and it did help him quit--but only as long as he took it. He was on it for over a year, but two weeks after going off it, he was smoking again.
Got him going with the PV's; he's smoking his last few packs while he waits for his kit to come in--no matter what, it's GOT to be better than Chantix...

I would avoid Chantix at all cost. I know someone who tried to kill themselves whilst taking this and almost succeeded. Also, the suicidal thoughts can linger for a long time after stopping to take this drug apparently.

I've heard a lot of horror stories about this drug, I had a buddy take it and he said it made him feel awfull and gave the weirdest most disturbing dreams he ever had. He couldn't take it for more then a couple weeks.

I just convinced him to order a 510 and now's he's smoke free for a week and loving it

Has anyone tried Smoke Deter? My mom is about to try it. It is suppose to help you fight the withdrawl symptoms that come with trying to quite.

You can't pay me enough money to accept a prescription on ANY medication still under patent. It's always fun to ask a doctor how much a drug costs, as they hand you the prescription. If they don't know (and they never do) I ask them to call a pharmacy and find out.

But the biggest reason I don't do prescriptions still under patent, is because they are all fast tracked, which means no one knows the full extent of side effects or health risks over the long term. And this has been true going back for at least 20 years. They put my mom on a female hormone at menopause. She did not respond well to it and quit taking it. Ten years later it was discovered it caused cancer. Do you know how happy she was she quit taking it?

No thanks. I will take a generic that has been in use for 30, 40 or 50 years so that ALL side effects, and particularly long term side effects, are well known.

And as far as Chantix goes, I will be DAMNED if I will take a drug that leads to suicide. Big Pharma can stick that one right where the sun don't shine, as far as I am concerned.

I DID try it and it really helped a lot. The problem I had was I walked around like a zombie the whole time.
