But did you want a cigarette while you were there?

The one thought that keeps invading my mind about this story is, "We just don't know what the long term effects are of using Chantix", but boy, the short term risks are growing.

well the first week i was on it i still smoked like a fean. then that happened, so it did nothing for me but mess me up. i remember laying in the er and having 2 nurses standing over me and saying things back and forth, but is sounded like a foreign language. was really weird. was having bp issues to.

Always good to hear from a Chantix survivor

Yeah, My doctor warned me 5 years ago not to use it because of my depression issues.

The problem is it just blocks nicotine receptors so that you can't get anything out of smoking, but doesn't replace the psychotropic properties of the nic. This means if you're using the nic to self medicate, you can't any more

Why is this a problem? You can just go on uppers instead. Problem solved.

It's a tofer, BP sells those uppers.

Yes, instead of using an electronic cigarette, which are unapproved and probably don't work, you should...

1) Use Chantix
2) Use anti-depressants
3) Make out your Last Will and Testament

This is the FDA approved way for Big Pharma to get as much money from you as possible before you kill yourself.


EDIT: I've noticed I'm getting a little more militant lately.
EDIT: I don't know if that's good or bad.

Pfizer even with the bad press has been doing $350 million a year or so off Chantix .. and it's been around since, what .. ?? 2006 .. ?? The settlement, as is true in so many of these type cases, won't put the big hurt on these guys ..

Not militant... I prefer to think of it as just getting smarter, and therefore getting aggravated at the "not so smart" people.

I was aggravated three years ago.
I became righteously ...... about two years ago.

Now I seem to be taking off the gloves more often.
Which means I must have crossed over into a different plane of consciousness.

 

[Frankenmizer]

Taking Chantix and suffering through a few hurricane category 3/4 headaches from it prompted me to ask the folks in the smoking pit at work, "Tell me about your e-cigs." Obviously, Chantix wasn't the optimal entree into vaping, but at least I got here.

You have entered.... the Vaping Zone. da da DAH da DAH da da da
