I have been on Chantix for w weeks. I can not sleep, have started smoking again and am VERY VERY VERY DEPRESSED. I can not relax, crying all the time. I thought it was the withdrawal from cigarettes, so I smoked one. Apparently that is not it. I am still just as depressed. I have a history of depression anyway. Other than going off the Chantix- which I plan to do, any ideas?
Please go to your Doctor right away. They say if you already are prone to depression the Chantix can make it worse. I was having problems sleeping so only take it in the morning. The depression I am sure is made worse by not being able to sleep. Having some cravings but I just can't smoke anymore. It is past time for me to be a quitter.
Hope it all works out for you.
Remember even if you can't take Chantix you can still quit smoking. Be strong.
And remember you can try again and again till you get it right.
maybe your Doc can give you somthing to help you sleep and to help with your depression.
good luck and let us know how your doing
