chantix

Avatar f tn I was put on Prozac 40 mg 3 months ago, This was after 12 years of Effexor. I have been nauseated and feel as though I have all the symptoms of severe depression. No motivation, sleeping 16-18 hours etc. This was a new Doctor for me. Family practice. I also quit smoking and was on Chantix at the same time. I thought the terrible side effects were Chantix. But I still am in trouble after stopping Chantix 7 weeks ago.
1755816 tn?1317861184 I am currently on Norco 500 mg. 3 xs daily and prozac, and chantix to stop smoking. im sure they will let me know in 5 days when I start treatment. also r there certain foods or liquids that r good/bad for u while treating.
Avatar f tn Today is Thursday. I had my last cigarette on Tuesday. I am using Chantix. I have been having headaches. Almost a cluster type. Severe pain but short lived in addition to a dull ache that goes down into my neck. I am hoping it is a symtom of withdraw from nicotine and not the Chantix. Has anyone else had these type of headaches?
Avatar f tn I used Chantix but I don't drink very much, especially when taking a drug. I'm almost certain that "do not drink when using this medication" is there on the label somewhere.
444932 tn?1273980797 I hope the itching doesn't deter you and also that those will be the only symptoms : ) I too had a facial itch....my nose was itchy for weeks but I hung in got through it and the yukky stomach I also had from time to time. Other than that, I was amazed at how quickly Chantix made me crave less and less. For me, it was that "miracle" drug but there are many who would dispute that. All I know is that it worked for me and I am very grateful!
Avatar n tn A year ago in January I took the chantix pill to stop smoking. In March I became sick - there were days I honestly thought that I was going to die. So tired - gained tons of weight - Hard to breath at times - forgetful - loss of hair - acky joints - feet feel like they are being crushed - dry itchy skin - much more. It has now been a year, my t4 level is now at .433 I have gone from 150 to 137 and my tsh level does not seem to change much. Is there something more that we can be checking?
Avatar f tn By looking at your history of posts, it sounds like your family doctor is putting you on quite a few meds. Chantix, from experiences of two folks I know, it shouldn't be used if someone has depression and/or bipolar disorder. I really recommend, if you don't have a psychiatrist, get one. I would be really reticent to take that med with the ones you are going onto.
1671473 tn?1450592437 I'm a morning smoke and coffee guy.. half pack and 10 cups in a.m. while i read and watch news... I want to quit.. I'm thinking Chantix from Dr. or the Gum.. I did it before.. a few times.. short times but I did it..
Avatar n tn I bought my first pack of cigarettes today and feel like **** for doing it. I need to speak with my psychiatrist and see if I can take Chantix.
543959 tn?1301315419 i feel like i need my fluoxetine again but im scared of the effects it will have on my baby but its going to get worse as it did in my previous 2 pregnancys which i got through with difficulty with no medication. is there anything i can take, any advice would be of help, thanks.
432312 tn?1265644974 I have been bi polar all my life... DX since I was 16... I have been off my meds for the last 4 or 5 years and have been coping. well I also have MS and I got Pnemmeonia so the doc wanted me to stop smoking...so he put me on chantrix.... long story short here it is 4 months later and I can't get ahold of my moods...
Avatar f tn I did not take Prozac, however I have been on Zoloft with minimal side effects. I noticed that most of them went away with time, but I do think they can numb your feelings a little bit, however, for me, the benefits clearly outweighed the costs. What does your husband think? I talked it over with my wife and she believes that it helps way more than it hurts the relationship :)....
596605 tn?1369946627 She recommended that I cut my Chantix dose in half, if it continues. So yes i am working very closely with my doc. Thanks for the kudos, the Chantix has really helped me , knock on wood.
Avatar m tn I took Chantix for 6 weeks and I haven't smoked in nearly 1 year and 2 months. Although Chantix is generally prescribed for 3 months, and it really should be taken for that long, it is rather expensive and some try to stop using it before the recommended time. I smoked for 38 yrs. and I thought I would die a smoker. The defining moment came when my doctor asked me to "just try chantix, what do you have to lose".
Avatar f tn Im just wondering if it is OK to take them together. I just want to find out as much as i can befor i start chantix. Please give me as much info as possible.
286124 tn?1214938528 I have taken chantix daily for about a year now. It works great for the urges with crack and meth. I can be a social drug user now and let the fiend at the door when I am done. Love it!
Avatar m tn and a month later and not taking it. i still have it. I also quit drinking with using Chantix. I wasn`t an alcoholic or anything , but the taste of alcohol still tastes like rubbing alcohol to me.... I am proud that I quit, sad that I lost my baby, and dying to get a decent nights sleep. And I am supprised my fiance hasn`t left me yet.
Avatar f tn o yea and i tie it to everything like most do with cigs. if i want to clean i take them, if i wan't to write a letter i take them. when i'm going out to do something fun i want to be more social and take them. when i'm bored i take them and get all kinds of creative ideas. and shopping is the worst. i will buy everything and then when my buzz goes down i get mad at myself for buying banana hammoks and ****.
Avatar f tn I'm trying to get off Paxil by cross tapering with Prozac to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Right now I'm on 10mg paxil. but I'm not sure how to proceed? My doctor said to take 20mg prozac along with 10 paxil for a month which I don't agree with. Thats because I think if prozac stays that long in my system I will also have trouble getting off of it. So my plan is: Week 1) 10mg paxil 10mg prozac. Week 2) 5mg paxil 20mg prozac. Week 3) 0mg paxil 20mg prozac. then stop.
Avatar n tn Being that I too have had a partial hysterectomy 5 years ago I looked into if in fact I can still get pregnant and just fyi you can and it can be very harmful but this seems to make a bit more sense. They don't necessarily hurt just sore and can definitely tell they are a bit enlarged which is kind of nice. Much better than finding out you are pregnant. I'll take this as a side effect!
407029 tn?1253992623 They recommend that you use the Chantix for 3 to 6 months. I did so well with it that I was off it in less than 3 months. When you start forgetting to take it you know it's time to come off it. If I could, I we be a walking advertisement for Chantix. I had tried the patch, the gum, zyban and hypnosis in the past and got absolutely no where. Chantix is a wonder drug as far as I'm concerned. To me the benefits of Chantix far out way any of the risks.
427279 tn?1210919821 hi,i have been taking it about 2 weeks and ill be honest with you,i have such vivid dreams that i talk really loud in my sleep so i get woke up all night and im really bad depressed ...dont know if its from no sleep or the chantix its self ....i think im going to quit i cant take not getting no sleep....take care...
Avatar f tn I've been off Chantix for over 3 years and I'm still dealing with depression. Sure you can quit with the drug as it worked for my husband but if totally RUINED my life. I had a severse adverse reaction and had to stop the program in my 2nd last week when I was down to one cig every 3 days. I was extremely impulsive, hostile, agressive and suicidal and I had almost no control over myself. I had the crazy dreams along with the other typical side affects.
984138 tn?1359813073 Hi Erin, I quit with chantix after smoking for 40 years and I think it worked well because, in the end, I really wanted to quit even though I didn't know just how much I wanted it when I began taking it : ) You should research it though as it can be harmful to younger people. As for taking his prescription, the first week is a half dosage so you might really need to get your own. It is expensive, but depending on how much you are paying for your smokes, it will be worth it in no time.
