chantix side effects stomach pain

Please keep us posted as to how it's going. I blamed everything on the withdrawals and not the pill so maybe I had more side effects other then the upset stomach? I'm just glad that I have finished and am 1 day away from 6 months. I hope it works for you too, good luck.

Last night I looked up Chantix side effects on the web and found HUNDREDS of people with problems like mine that persist long after they stopped taking the pill. Many people in their thirties that just had a heart attack one day out of the blue (this is what I am most afraid of happening to me) Does anyone know how to undo the damage that chantix is causing?

) go for it..

Wow! I didn't have any real bad side effects when I took Chantix. A bit of an upset stomach, but I dealt with it. I guess I should consider myself lucky! I took it for a month and a half. If it wasn't for Chantix, I doubt very seriously if I would have ever given up smoking and I am happy to say, after 38 years of it I am now 10 months, 3 weeks and 1 day smoke free : ) Good luck to you all.

I did have major side effects-mostly nightmares, bad sleep, bad stomach aches and nausea so I stopped it before I quit smoking. I have started it again just two days ago. I am taking it at night with over the counter sleep aid because I know that was the hardest part. It also makes me a little cranky. Definitely works for a lot of people, and some have no side effects at all. As you start taking it, pay attention to how you feel.

My son took it for 3 months and although he did quit smoking, the side effects have nearly put us over the emotional edge. He had mild side effects while on it, the dreams, slight stomach ache, manageable headaches, but... when he went off it, the whirl wind began. He began with terrible hives, then numbness, dizzy, foggy, moody and the latest is he has been diagnosed with panic and anxiety.

I have been on Chantix . My breast are swollen and tender. Has anyone else had this side effect. Not from my periods - had a hysterectomy 15 years ago.

I used Chantix and had absolutely no extreme effects. A bit of upset stomach was the worst of it. I took it for a month and a half and have been quit for 1 year and 1 month! There are times when I still feel and urge, especially when stressed, but it goes away in mere seconds and it doesn't happen often : ) I hope you feel better with each day and thanks for offering your help.

Chantix can have a lot of side effects, including headaches. They may go away after some use of it for a while. And congratulations on quitting smoking, that is one of the hardest things to do in my oppinion. Chantix originally worked for me. Best of luck!

She felt that the nicotine withdrawls, combined with the side effects of the Chantix is what caused the severe anxiety.

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome: Constipation; gas; headache; increased appetite; nausea; stomach upset; strange dreams; taste changes; trouble sleeping; vomiting.

My friend just quit taking Chantix due to the inability to handle the side effects. She has noticed that since quitting the Chantix alcohol has effected her differently. While on the Chantix she noticed the effects of alcohol tokk in quite quickly where now she seems to have a tolerance that was not there before. Is it possible that theh Chantix caused her intolerabilty to alcohol?

Chantix side effects may include suicidal thoughts, depression and even violent behavior

Any better today? I've been thinking about you; read a few more posts on Chantix side effects, and if you still feel that deep fatigue, I would quit the Chantix immediately!...and most especially if you have any kind of emotional issues (I don't mean to assume) as Chantix can exacerbate them. There are many other quit aids to choose from if Chantix turns out to be not right for you.

I too quit with Chantix and my side effects were minimal......bad dreams and a little stomach upset, but it was a small price to pay for getting back my life, which, after smoking for 40 years I never thought would or could happen : ) In addition to Chantix, I also found whyquit.com, which supports a "cold turkey" quit....everyone has access to the articles regardless of the method you choose to aid in your quit.

I just had the hida scan last Wednesday, the 2nd, I will have follow up appt w/ Dr Wed the 9th, hopefully all the answers then. The RUQ pain is a constant pinch, like a stitch in the side while exercising/exertion..Its always there,sometimes sharper than other times.I have not been diagnosed with IBS, but all systems are a little out of whack with the rapid(6 wk) 20# weight gain after giving up smoking, and I was on Chantix for that...strange side effects, but it worked.

Yes someone I know who used Chantix for smoking cessation got side effects from it that took a long time to go away. If you are having further concerns speak to a doctor about it and as with any medication for information on side effects both short and long term look up the medication website because they all must be listed by FDA law.

On Chantix for my 3rd time in 4 years. Side effects getting worse but I have NO CHOICE. I hate smoking and I am an athlete and none of my friends smoke. I have been smoke free for 2 weeks and have no cravings but dream are out of control, I get very sleepy during the day, bloated lilke when I was pregnant. I don't want to give in and just accepting that this is what I have to do in order to stop. Also, I have been so irritated I feel like I could kill someone......

my best friend quit smoking but first tried chantix an had some really bad side effects felt strange awful nightmares an had seazure from chantix doc took her off asap. Also seen on tv a lawyer saying if you had bad side effects from taking chantix or even death pls call today we have law suit in effect.

t imagine how anyone would choose any other way to quit but when I joined up here and saw that there were many who had some pretty bad side effects, well thats when I counted myself very lucky. I think most of the complaints were not too bad; nighmares and stomach problems. Make sure that you are mentally prepared before getting off the chantix. Spend a little time on the whyquit.com website and try to understand why you became addicted. It really is more an emotional one then a physical one.

Not that I'm pro Chantix, but allow me to play devils advocate for a minute. When one contemplates quitting and then sets out to do it, there is a profound loss.....like losing your best friend, and we all have to deal with. I myself grieved long and hard. Could your depressed state be that you have finally come to terms with the fact that it is your time to quit? I used Chantix and mourned the loss but I also used it before it was linked to "possible" suicide.

I tried Chantix for ~ 3 weeks or so. It caused me a lot of pain and BP/HR issues. Below is a couple of links you should read. If you can go it without Chantix I would. There has been a lot of questions concerning it's safty with people that have thyroid issues. Best of luck to you. ;~) http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/531269 http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/394473?

So, I have heard horrible stories about the side effects of Chantix, how was it for everyone that has used it?? Despite what people say about the side effects, everyone I know that has used it has successfully quit smoking, but I'm nervous about about what they say it does. I have had several people tell me that they have horrible nightmares, have SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, and feel like they are just down right going crazy???

Thanks but, the Chantix reference was just an example, I never took Chantix, but learned about it's side effects during my research
