Chantix quits/attempted quits is only marginally better than their suicide/attempted suicide ratio
The world is a crazy place filled with crazy people and crazy notions. It's really quite scary.
I think there is a lot wrong with this medication as well as some reasons it doesn't work. I did quit using this medication, BUT for me the vivid dreams were intense. I couldn't distinguish what was reality and what was an actual dream.
There's just way to much that goes into getting this medication ex. the dr visit, the cost, the time.

well, they're not smoking either... (I know, not really a joking matter)
That's really the best joke, imo.
Someone should seriously ask the CDC if they count Chantix suicides as 'smoking related deaths'.
There's also the fact that it has been given to soldiers back from the mid East war zones. How many of their suicides where helped along by taking this drug? 
My personal theory about the suicide part --and by personal I mean only applies to me-- comes from having quit cold turkey several times. After realizing that I was denying myself one of life's simple pleasures I was not quite as happy as before (quitting).
Although never reaching the point of contemplating suicide over this, I did have some down moments and some vivid smoking dreams. No Chantix was involved.
To me nicotine is a natural mood and energy enhancer. Once you're addicted that is. Better never to start. But, hey!

Just to clarify...
Nicotine enhances memory, concentration, and attention.
Even in people who have never used it before.
That's why this...
Nicotine could be put on list of banned substances - Olympics - ESPN
Probably both smoking related deaths and successful Chantix quit attempts.
I had unbelievable scary nightmares on this med. I can handle a lot but this was too much for me. No wonder half the country is crazy with what the medical profession pushes. Yet they worry about drugs...go figure.
BTW the site I linked to is quite good if you are into alternative or holistic type medicine. I really think people should start paying more attention to natural products/foods. Nothing is totally organic but maybe we can get closer if we start paying attention to the companies we buy from and the garbage they put in their products.
If you think you know what's best for others, you're in the wrong forum. That others think that way is why were even here.
I took Chantix twice. I did not have any of the side effects warned in the label. However my smoking increased during and after use. Nice NRT!
Well everytime this subject comes up, I have to post this -- it's just so perfect:
I took Welbutrin I think sometime in 2004, taking it as an antidepressant. It wasn't terribly good at that, but during the month I was taking it, I noticed that I could delay my after-meal cigarettes -- the ones I valued and appreciated most! -- for as much as 30 minutes after a meal. I used to hear some things along the harm reduction line, about trying to delay that smoke, after eating, because the vasoconstrictor effect of nicotine can slow and impede your digestion quite considerably. I thought it was quite interesting that it had that effect on me, even when I had no interest in quitting smoking whatsoever, and was making zero efforts to do so. Not as powerful a deterrent as e-cigs, but still perhaps a valuable tool.
