I have not had a cigarette since November 7. Been smoke free for two months. My doctor put me on this drug and it has worked. The only problem is I'm a moody mess and I'm angry alot. Has anyone else been on it and did you experience side effects?

Have you had strange dreams that seem very real? They also say that in the commercial... makes me scared to take it because I already have strange dreams... I need to stop smoking though.. congrats to you for not having one for 2 months! Wish I could quit but it is so hard... been smoking for about 13 years... Started young because everyone was doing it and I thought it would make me cool... well, how stupid that was and now I realize...

Thats what I don't get about this drug. Quitting smoking is the hardest thing to do. Your already pissed off at the world to begin with and this drug obviously makes normal symtoms nuclear, what 2 do? Maybe they shoudl cut it wit a lil valuim or other type drug to take the edge off. I've smoked for over 30 yrs now. Nicotine is as bad as heroin it seeems like, LOL

Sometimes I wonder if I should just quit smoking cigarettes and start smoking marijuana again... LOL Recent studies have proven that it isn't as bad as cigarette smoking... something to do with the THC in it... It would definitely keep me from getting crabby and wanting to kill someone from needing a cigarette...

I haven't smoked in over a year... I really miss it. I don't drink either. Once in a blue moon I will have like a screwdriver or something fruity but I can't stand alcohol really... bleh... wine is even worse! When I smoked weed I was very creative and always loved mixing music but since I stopped I have been a little bit lazy. I still mix a little bit here and there, but I feel like it would be/sound better if I was stoned. It also helped me with my insomnia.. since I stopped I find myself awake at all hours and it isn't fun.

You know what helps? Bupropion. In larger doses, its an anti-depressant called Wellbutrin. In lower doses, its a smoking cessation product called Zyban. I used it for depression and the results are subtle. I used to smoke, I was smoking while taking it, but like 2-3 weeks later, I realized I quit smoking. It acts on dopamine receptors and does not make you gain weight, or lethargic. In fact, it kinda gives you a little energy (not like an energy drink, but its best not to take it after 5pm because you'll stay up). Its also been prescribed for cocaine addiction.

i wish Wellbutrin would work for me. I take 600 mg a day for bi=polar/depression. I have been on it for bout 6 years. I take it twice a day hasn't messed with me sleep. THC is the best for sleep in me book!!

no not any really strange dreams, I just feel volatile all the time. One minute I'm up and the other down.

Ok, I haven't had Chantrix for four days. It will be 3 months since I had a cigarette November 7. I'm eating up everything in the house. I feel going off this stuff is making me more crazy but I can tell things are getting better.
