Does the pill make you gain weight? Or do people gain weight because they're eating instead of smoking? I know that people have weird dreams, and get depressed, headaches, throwing up... is weight gain included in that list of side effects? I'm just curious... I joined a fitness center, so I'll be exercising... but I'd like to know if my weight loss is going to be limited by this pill... I'm trying to loose weight, not gain any.
I haven't seen anything that would suggest that weight gain is a side effect of Chantix. It is certainly a side effect of eating :-)
It's is very, very common for people to gain weight when quitting smoking. I know of few people who do not (initially) gain some weight. The fitness center sounds like a great idea for keeping off any extra pounds, but I don't think Chantix would affect your weight one way or the other.
