Chantix....lobotomy By Mouth.... 'm 54 yr. old, happily married (35 yrs.), mother of 2, proud na na of 6 and love my job of 22 years... Wanted to put tobacco to rest (smoked 4 to 6 cigs per day)...almost put mySELF to rest! Two completed Chantix prescriptions between Oct. '06 and Oct. '07. Two hospital stays in 2008. Jan. '08 - - taken by ambulance w/severe chest pains, put on oxygen and morphine for severe headaches and chest pain while in hospital. Stayed a week...underwent every text possible. Released with diagnosis...possible virus??? May 24, '08 - - took a ride to rural area, took over 240 sleeping pills and cut self w/mini-diabetic razors purchased at Walgreens. Have NO IDEA why I bought those! Woke up six days later surrounded by family in ICU. Was given last rites while on a ventilator. Spent time in psyche unit. I didn't know why or how I could've done such a thing. Was ostracized by all. Oct. '08, my mom started sending me negative articles regarding Chantix. She was the only person who knew I was on Chantix. I was a closet smoker. It took me awhile to start researching the connection...but when I did...I can't tell you how thrilled I was to read I was not alone!!! All I want back is my credibility....and dignity.

When Can I Take It? I can only manage to take this god-awful pill once a day. Every time I do I've become VERY nauseated, and a few times, I've puked. A couple nights ago I took it right before I went to sleep, since I can sleep through anything. The dreams were ridiculous, but I didn't wake up feeling like I had to throw up. Now, my question is, is it OK to take at night? Monday, 9/28/2009 6:46:32 AM  1 Reply

Let's Join Hands Together To Let The World Know! After taking the first treatment of Chantix last Nov.,2006, I started to feel depressed, develop mood swings,constant irritability, weird dreams, and started to pick fights with my husband that it would turn out to be destructive because I would slap him on the face a lot of times and then hit my head with my fists. I would easily cry for no known reasons. I develop insomnia. I am forgetful of matters now, I had a very retentive memory before taking Chantix. I develop suicide ideation. One day after taking the complete treatment of Chantix, from 11'2006, 12'2006 and 01'2007, around 3rd week of March, 2007, I started to feel something bad in my body, I felt extremely weak and I was running a temperature of 103 degrees. It happened again, for 3 or more consecutive days, I would developed a fever of 103 degrees to 105 degrees only at night. So on the 3rd or 4th night, my husband took my temperature again and I was running a fever of 105 degrees. I was so weak and not responding to his questions anymore, so he took me to the emergency of a nearby hospital. The hospital staff put me in the intensive care unit and stayed there for about 5 to 6 days for intensive treatment. They didn't know what was happening at first. And finally they said that I have pneumonia and an infection of the bladder. I was so bewildered why I had pneumonia while I did not have any pneumonia symptoms. When the doctors sent me home, a nurse would come to the house because they had to change the instrument that the doctor at the hospital put into my skin closed to my heart. They had to monitor it and to changed the dressing. It lasted for about a week or so. Over a period of time, I became worse. I developed RLS, Restless Leg Syndrome, I attempted suicide by taking different pills but I didn't die. I feel so helpless and useless. I tried to go back to work and had offers, but came to find out that I can't even work because all my horrible symptoms are a hindrance! My life is dysfunctional since taking Chantix. I want my life back pls. I have frequent headaches, bad chronic body pains, nausea, dizziness, my vision became blurry and develop very dry eyes. My eyes is so sensitive to the sun and lights. I develop palpitation, chest discomfort, erratic breathing, body tremors, develop extreme panic attacks and the attacks would be more than 4 times a day, everyday! I am confused and easily get disoriented during the day.I develop constipation, abdominal pains, indigestion, and heartburn. I have chills frquently and off and on rashes on my body. I have dry mouth and very bad pain, numbness and heaviness from around my hip down to my legs. I have body tremors almost every other day and experienced blackouts about three different times. I develop bad back pains and very bad pains on the back of my neck on both sides. I develop depression and I have significantly reduce sexual desire and a very big increase in weight gain of around 20 to 25 lbs. in 15 months. Throughtout all my ordeal, I never thought that all of these was caused by Chantix, (smoking cessation pill) until I was browsing on the net and saw a statement that says FDA WARNING ABOUT CHANTIX.. I read the article and called my husband about it. I was so upset and and I cried and said to my husband that the symptoms of taking Chantix are the same symptoms that I have! I never had any idea that Chantix is the culprit! At first I thought it is because of my hormones because I am going through menopause, and being a Manager ,I was having a lot of stress from my job. My husband is disable and I can't work, we need some money to help me with my copays for my doctors, my copays for my pills, copays for the lab tests and procedures, our rent, and our utility bills. We are behind in everything! I can't work because of my condition and my Cardiologist told me the same. We just live on a fixed income monthly. I spoke with 4 to 6 lawyers for legal representation, but they refused to help me because they said their criteria is if a person committed suicide and resulted in death or was hospitalized for treatment, then those people have possible lawsuits. What about for those people who didn't? I have been harmed extensivley by Chantix and do not even know if I will get better. Money is not comparable to what I became right now. I want my life back. I have been extremely messed up by this Chantix. We have to stand together to eradicate this drug completely out in the market before it harms and injures more. Besides my Primary Care Physician, I have a Cardiologist, Neurologist, Pain Specialist, Chiropractor, and 2 Psychiatrists. I walk like a 100 yr.old woman and walks like one. I want justice! If you have been harmed and wants to ask any questions, or if I can help by informational advices, please respond. Friday, 9/25/2009 4:50:27 PM  14 Replies

Chantix Side Effects How long does chantix stay in your system, could it still be effecting me afer 9 months? Wednesday, 9/9/2009 1:12:17 PM  2 Replies

So Far So Good I started taking Chantix last week. I have tried before over and over again to quit but to no prevail nothing seemed to work until now. From the moment I started taking Chantix it was almost like I didnt think about smoking for the 1st week I would have about 3 cig a day and going from a pack and half to two a day thats pretty darn good. I do have some side affects, I get naueous in the morning but I find if I drink a glass of water first it goes away quicker I also have weird dreams but not necessarially bad, and loss of appetite, I also seem to be calmer, which I think is a good thing. Everyone will react differently to every kind of medication, Im just happy that my side effects are not like some. Friday, 9/4/2009 4:09:52 PM  1 Reply
