Anyone else on Champix (anti-smoke drug)?

[Ixum]

I've been on this crap for 12 days now, tobacco tastes like shit. BUT, side-effects, let me just list my own...

 

1) Not into food much 

2) Booze makes me puke

3) wtf dreams

4) Oblivious to installed Skyrim porn mods

5) cba to jerk off

 

Anyway, I'd love to hear your experiences if you have them <3

that sounds pretty similar to experiences of my friend that quit, he ended up losing a lot of weight because of it.

 

[edit] he said it was less annoying after two weeks

Nope never used it I did however use some type of lozenger after looking at patches and seeing how many it would take but in the end I made my own descion on how many boxes I needed because those items used for helping you quit are just as bad as the smoking as they fucking want you to stay on their shit for as long as they can just to milk your ass out of money. I bought one box that had 4 tubes of lozenger by the last tube I began limiting and cutting back on the pills by the time I was out of the last pill I was done with their shit.

 

They don't dissolve very fast so you have to suck on them till they are gone and the only side effect that I had with them was that if you took your next one too early you would get uncontrollable hiccups and you would have to stop sucking it for bit then start again.

After the initial boom as anti-smoke, here after a while it wasn't given anymore to help people quitting smoke, due to causing increased depression and suicide

There's a pill I was supposed to take to stop smoking.

It didn't relieve the desire to smoke, I wanted to smoke more than ever,

but what it *did* do was remove any pleasure from smoking whatsoever.

It meant I was really puffing on a cigarette with no joy at all.

I think it must've been a plot by the cancer society to get more money (JK) because

the more you puff, the more likely something bad is supposed to happen.

It was a generic brand of whatever it was you were talking about, and I swear this was topical, it just doesn't look as satisfying in print.

  That Chantix stuff is dangerous crap. Full disclosure I own a vape/tobacco shop and still smoke, but no longer two packs a day thanks to vaping.

 

 Like most perscription drugs its side effects are almost worse than the stuff it is supposed to fix. One of my friends woke up from one of the nightmares and almost killed his family because it seemed so real. But it is FDA approved, so it must be good for you.

 The same people peddling this crap are no better that street corner drug dealers. They are the people that will put you on pain killers, then cut you off when your insurance runs out. Legal dope versus the stuff you have to buy yourself.

 

 In my jaded non-medical opinion. If you smoke you smoke, it is your life. Who am I to judge about that whatever you like to smoke, but the second they try to sell you a handful of pills that will make everything better. Punch then in the nose and walk out.

Another medication that is used to help people stop smoking is Zyban (Wellbutrin). I take Wellbutrin as an anti-depressant since Serotonin based medications do really bad things to me and it has been the only one I can tolerate though only at a moderate dose (150 mg 2x day). The difference between the two drugs is that Chantix blocks nicotine receptors but Zyban doesn't. If you are having issues with one medication tell your doctor and see about changing it as there are usually several variations and one of them may work better for you.

Update:

 

4th day without cigs (17th day total  taking med), going fairly well, just need to remember to eat something before taking the tablet, otherwise I'll throw up. Dreams are still vivid, I wish I'd dream about something else than work or my childhood, wtb sex dreams pls. Got rid of my very frequent drinking too, guess thats good, not much of an apetite regarding food and fapping. No signs of being depressed tho.

You make your life sound depressing and I'm only reading it.

But I'm glad it's going well.

You don't smell of booze and tobacco,

so apparently people will like you more.

I think they smell heavenly, but I've never been, uh, hmm (social)

Maybe someone will invent a cologne called "decadent"

so people can at least smell happier.

Sounds like a Christianity pill...

 

badum tsss...

 

 

 

sorry.

There have been reports of serious side effects with varenicline, such as heart attacks and suicides. Though it seems they are still debated, personally I would prefer to let others try it until the doubts are cleared. It's not the best way to find yourself in the newspapers, if you see what I mean.

I was a smoker for over 30 years and tried almost everything.Chantix helped alot as well as vaping during that time.I was spared most of the side effects but did gain weight during that time.I also quit drinking for awhile and now I barely drink at all and when I do it don't take much,but I'll never quit weed.(Which helped quitting also IMHO.)Good Luck with quitting.
