I started Chantix today. From what I'm reading, I'm getting a little nervous here. I've read about and discussed the side effects with my doctor, who indicated the side effects were rare however, that's not what I'm reading. Please let me know there is something good to it.
Do the deal,,,,and keep me informed on how it's going.
Side effects most common is stomach pain and vivid dreams (Which isnt always a bad thing)
They are more irritating than anything but once you see how great the pill works you will be willing to deal with them for a few weeks to get the job done. Trust me it IS worth enduring a little discomfort for the end result I am 100 days smoke free tomorrow!
If the pill makes you sick take it 10 min after eating with MILK not water and maybe some pepto too.
If you get weird dreams try taking the pill earlier in the evening like right after dinner.
Do NOT drink alcohol when your taking Chantix.
Some of the things you will feel after you quit isn't from the pill at all but from quitting smoking, it all goes away within a few weeks and you will be smoke free and HEALTHY!!
