I get angry very easily and I also get very depressed and cry at the drop of a hat. For me, this is very uncharecteristic. I cant seem to think clearly at times and my reaction to small things is unbelievable. I dont think the changes I have experienced are worth it. I am currently seeking other alternatives to quit smoking...which I was still unable to do while taking Chantix!

He started telling me about the headaches and dreams about 2 days after taking the Chantix. He also wasn't acting his self. He kept telling me that the headaches were unlike any other headach and the dreams were so freeky and wierd that he just couldn't belive what was going on in his head! About 3 weeks into the Chantix he was driving home from checking on a job at Lake Martin and was driving on a two lane highway and coming toward him at about 55 miles per hr. was a huge log truck with a big load of pulp wood and all of a sudden my husband had a thought of putting his own truck head on into the lane of the log truck! At the last minute he changed his mind and pulled over on the side of the road and was wondering what in the world made him think of doing such a thing! He has never been depressed or ever thought ab out ending his life! When he made it back to our office he told me about it and we both hugged each other and cried and thanked "The Good Lord" that he didn't go through with it and realized that it must be the Chantix! He stopped it right then and started feeling better right away, except that he still has headaches. I thank God everyday that I still have my husband with me!!!!

Each person has to decide for themselves whether the risks outweigh the rewards, but that is impossible to do without all the facts.

I too have had similar situations that now make a little more sense. I just started taking Chantix, at my doctors request, about a month or two ago because I have a rare lung disease called sarcodosis. I've tried everything to quit smoking. A co-worker of mine was taking it and suggested I try it. I did for awhile and was doing fine, I thought. My wife told me I wasn't myself anymore. I would talk constantly in my sleep (I was having some wierd, vivid dreams) and she said I seemed depressed. I didn't think anything of it. I started hearing about Chantix in the news and decided to do more reseach on it. I stopped taking it for awhile. My next doctors appointment I informed my doctor that I had stopped because of the negative publicity I was hearing about it. My Doctor told me to start back and that the benefits out weigh the risks. So I started taking it again. I've noticed recently that I've been doing some crazy things behind the wheel also. I would forget about stop signs in my own neighborhood or I would pull into an intersection just barely soon enough to avoid getting hit by an oncomming car. I think I understand now what's going on and I have stopped taking Chantix for good. I'll find some other way to quit smoking. Thanks for sharing your experiences. That is very interesting.
