Chantix works

[vapomike]

Yeah I've known 2 people to take chantix too stop. One was an elderly lady that was my neighbor, she quit smoking for 12 weeks but when they took the chantix away, she went right back too smoking. She didn't complain of any of the side effects and the dreams couldn't have effected she only sleeps like 2 hours a day. Then there was my bro-in-law, he quit while on the chantix but went back to cigs as soon as the prescription ran out. Though he complained that he would space out for no reason, and also had very vivid sometimes frightening dreams. One time he dreamed that him and my sister was sitting on their roof, and they both stood up and he just pushed her off.

Interestingly enough I actually seen an ad for this poison on tv tonight, which I havent seen in awhile.

I guess it works if you are able to keep taking it. Like we do with vaping nic.

I know 6 people who took it and went back once it ran out so the 1 year plus success rate is low I imagine.

Vaping is still too new to know what the success rate is I guess.

In my opinion Chantix is the worst thing to ever hit a pharmacy counter. I took this stuff when I was 18, (parents orders, if they knew what I went through they'd have regretted it). Pretty much the same as all the other stories, nausea, depression, sleeplesness (sp?), horrible/really weird dreams, etc... The main thing that threw me was the suicidal thoughts though, and this was before I heard anything about that being a side-effect. The weird thing was I had no reason to be depressed and having thoughts like that, I mean things were going pretty good for me at the time and I would just be laying there thinking things like "what's the point in being alive, this is stupid, I wonder what happens when you die" and it went on and on like that. I did quit smoking after a couple months (I wasn't a heavy smoker at all, so it really was pretty pointless in the first place) and stopped taking it and the suicidal thoughts stopped almost immediately. It's pretty scary looking back at that period in my life, I mean I could've done something crazy and ended it at 18 years old, when everything was going good for me, only because I was completely mind-......ed by a drug that was supposed to save my life. How insanely pathetic is it that the FDA would allow such a thing to be made available to the public? It honestly makes me sick.

And yes I did start smoking a little while after I stopped taking it, which seems to almost always be the case, which made this whole experience completely pointless.

jeesh hearing these stories is exactly the reason why I didnt do that bs in the first place. I hate drugs and for a good reason with some of my personal experience with big pharma drugs. Anyway since april 4 of this year I have not had one cigarette.... still vaping because I love my nicotine and that will never change. Id rather vape than put a nasty tar infested thing in my mouth......

But it's FDA approved!

Awkwardly enough my mother, my cousin, and myself took chantix. Not too certain of any side effects my cousin had but my mother and myself only had strange(not scary), weird, and above all pointless dreams as side effects. The medication actually worked for a period of time for all of us all between 2 months(I tend to stop taking medicine once I notice the desired effect) and 5 months. Of course it wasn't permanent but I don't blame that on the medication.... But on that note still <3 my e-cig more then any pill.

i took it for about a week and stopped as soon as the symptoms started. when i told my doctor she told me to KEEP TAKING THEM!! So i got some more cigs and a new doctor. thats was 3 years ago. wasted 100 bucks. now i spent roughly twice that in the last month or so and no nasty side effects AND I'm still not smoking

I am using chantix and also a 0 nic e-cig. the e-cig is helping me fight that craving in the car as well as when i am at parties. Chantis has only giving me the vivid dreams otherwise no major side affects.

My changes due to taking chantix almost cost me a relationship and almost my job but i trashed the stuff just in time

I have 6 friends that tried Chantix. All were able to quit as long as they were taking the drug. Everyone returned to smoking shortly after stopping the chantix. Luckily none of them had any adverse effects to the drug. I can't believe that drug is still on the market and being peddled by doctors.
