Anybody taking chantix and just feel totally lethargic?

I started taking it right before christmas and quit the next week as supposed to.  Only slipped once on New Years and it was pointless because I didn't get that ahhhh feeling because of the chantix so that's good.  My problem is I am exhausted.  Just exhausted.  It is a struggle to do things.  Anybody else go through this?  Thought maybe it could be my body detoxifying but I don't know.   I guess I just need a little encouragement.

I had similar lethargic and brain fog experiences for a few weeks once I quit. Some of it was probably from the Chantix but I think the majority of it was caused by the withdrawal from nicotine. Hang in there, give it few more days you should start feeling back to your old self.  It is initially a struggle but it will improve. Everyday you do not smoke you will get stronger. I wish you well.
