http://www.medications.com/se/Chantix Recent side effects for Chantix Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:22:29 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29134 I took the recommended dose for the first month. I felt really good (except the dreams) Then I suddenly got very depressed, lost feeling in my tongue,could not sleep. I felt horrible and would just go to bed but never really slept like I was in La La land. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29134 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:39:31 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28843 I took Chantix for about a month. It lessened my cravings to smoke, but I started getting heart palpitations really bad. I ended up in the ER one day and the Dr. told me that he had never seen that side effect. He looked up the side effects in his palm pil http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28843 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:46:52 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28586 my husband took Chantix and though it didn't help the smoking now he has what seems like early Alzheimer. Since it works on brain receptors I wonder what has happened to him. It came on in a short time. Are there others who have had memory problems? http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28586 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:40:09 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28457 I started taking Chantix in August right after I had my teeth cleaned by a periodontal office which I was doing every three months. Three months later my periodontal disease which had been controlled for four years came back full force.

Quit smoking as directed. Chantix saved my life but helping me quit smoking. Only side effects were really vivid dreams and intense nausea about twenty minutes after taking full dose.

I smoked like crazy for the first couple of days, trying to get SOMETHING out of a cigarette, quit completely on day 8 and once I got past the crankiness and depression, the only side eff http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27582 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:47:49 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27342 Spotting between periods http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27342 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:58:56 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27275 My husband took Chantix before I tried it. He was a two pack a day smoker and honestly, I thought he would never give it up. He had all the normal side effects at first. The nausea was the worst but he learned that eating first helped.

VERY impressive dreams. Can't wait to sleep!! But of course smoke more in dreams then real life!!

I will be 40 in April, 2008 and I started smoking when I was 13 1/2 yrs. old. Anyway, yes I've had the nausea, but as long as you eat a meal and take right away, I haven't had that problem again.

It works, though.

Although I am smoking considerably less (from a pack a day+ to one to 1.5 cigs a day for 10 years), I can't ignore the changes in my behavior. I'm very, very irritable and almost angry-- I' http://www.medications.com/effect/view/24828 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:02:30 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/24247 I am 30-years-old and have been smoking close to a pack a day (usually less, sometimes more) since I was 19. This is my 10th day on Chantix. Well, everyone is right... you cannot take it on an empty stomach.

I took Chatix and have been quit now since April! You are supposed to stay on the pill for like 6 months, but it only took 2 weeks for me. My only problems with it were nausea and weird dreams. For the nausea I just split my doses u http://www.medications.com/effect/view/24242 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 11:21:30 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/24171 Felt a great responsibility to share my daughter's hellish experience while on this drug. My daughter is 33 years old. While taking Chantix she would at first laugh to herself frequently, went to anger and resentment to bizarre behavior and paranoia.

The first two can be treated with diet, i.e., taking only on a full stomache with lots of water, and the second by increasing fiber.
