Discuss different approaches to quitting, including medication
you know 'why' they are against NRT don't you? Not because they are wankers that don't want you to quit. There are some valid reasons. To each their own. Everybody hoe's their own row. I can see the point about NRT if you want to get off of nicotine.
i had the same symptoms and spoke with 2 pharmacists. One pharmacist said her daughter on Champix (Canadian name for what I think you call Chantrix or something like that) and had the same symptoms so she asked the pharmaceutical rep that sells it and he said that on the instructions you get with the meds it says to drink one glass of water with each tablet, he said try 3-5 glasses of water with each tablet. She did and the symptoms went away. I do to. It means that I often have to get up in the middle of the night to pee but it beats having all those yucky smyptoms. it works. Also spoke to a different pharmacist about the dreams and nightmares and I said that I felt like cutting way back on the meds and he agreed with me that one size does not fit all. so I cut back to 1/2 tab twice a day and now I'm taking 1/2 tab once a day. I guess it depends on how motivated you are and other things. Speak to a pharmacist about your concerns. And keep up the good work of being a non-smoker.
