Avatar f tn This is going on the 2nd full day of no Chantix but I am still feeling depressed. I want to know how long does it stay in your system for. I woke up today and felt close to normal and then it came back again. I had depression 16 years ago, which started off with post pardom depression that lead into severe depression which this is feeling way too familiar to that and I do NOT want to go through that again.

Avatar f tn Well, like other drugs that do, I think it will work its way out of your system and this should be over. Drugs have this thing called a half life. This is how long it stays in your system. And once the drug is completely gone, your body adjusts to being without it. How long that takes is dependent on the person BUT it does eventually adjust.
Avatar f tn I'm going to play the devils advocate here and ask you how you know that Chantix caused all of your problems? You ailments may be coincindental and there are plenty of people who have problems at your age who have never taken the drug. I used Chantix and quit with it after nearly 2 months on it. I am 54 and had no problems at all. I have noticed complaints about the "during and aftermath" of Chantix but no one can definitively link it to the drug.
Avatar m tn just curious....how long have you been taking Chantix, and can you stop taking Chantix without the need to have either a cigarette or a Chantix 'fix'??
Avatar f tn Effexor stays in your body a long time it is fat soluable sounds like you are having withdrawals our bodys become physically dependant on it. Withdrawal can cause nausea excessive tiredness and mimic depression and anxiety. Hopefully because prozac is in the same group your body should adjust to this change shortly. People go on prozac to get off effexor as it is not as hard to get off. What is Chantix ? Sounds like you had too many changes at once, best to take one thing at a time.

444932 tn?1273980797 The doc said that it was possible that I could have an allergic reaction after 10 days on it b/c it slowly builds up in your system. Its half-life is 24 hours so that it maintains a steady supply of whatever the active ingredient is that makes you not want to smoke. Even on day 10, my cravings/desire to smoke had not diminished and I had not completely quit smoking. I had cut down some and just started noticing the day I had to quit that cigs tasted bad. I wish you luck.
Avatar f tn “It’s really chilling,” said Moore, who analyzed 26 Chantix reactions in a paper published in the September 2010 issue of the Journal of Pharmacotherapy. "This seems to unleash something in people. It can be violence to anything around.
729288 tn?1251254433 Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Its been a long weekend. The first time I took the chantix I forgot to eat and I did get sweaty and a little bit of nausea.

Im going to look up the sx I know theres 144 of them. I just want to stop smoking.
984138 tn?1359813073 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. Many others have their own opinions on chantix but the success rate is fairly good for those who stuck with it. Side effects for me were vivid dreams and slight stomach upset. Do your homework Erin and whatever method you use, you will be better prepared.
Avatar f tn I am ready to quit, and noticed you said you took Chantix. would you recommend this pill? How long after being on Chantix did you actually stop smoking? I was prescribed bupropian, and wonder if maybe Chantix would be better.
Avatar n tn If there is an infection it might rev up the immune system and cause a relapse (if you have MS). This is to be avoided at all costs. Besides, fevers are an indication there is something wrong. Please get it checked.
380558 tn?1309042387 t know how your doing it girl. That is so great. Quitting smoking will be my next challenge, but I have to conquer these pills first. Great job !
664798 tn?1225821618 asking your doctor wont be of much help as they are part of the system that prescribes meds in the first place. ASK YOUR PHARMACIST FIRST.....good luck to you.
Avatar n tn I would recommend that you have a talk with your physician about what is going on. Because Chantix is fairly new, it is important that they document all of the possible side effects. Your complaint is just another in a long list of complaints that people are associating with the drug. A lot of these can and should be researched as the more then 1000 additives that are added to tobacco and what happens when they are absent from our bodies for a period of time. I hope that you feel better soon.
Avatar m tn I seemed to always have a queasy feeling while on the chantix. I think it's one of the most common complaints along with bad dreams. I don't recall this but how are the pills to be taken....empty stomach, full stomach? Forgive the bluntness but I remember gas being an issue. Try to watch what you eat...stay away from "known" irritants. Did you know how many different ingredients are in a cig? It could be withdrawal from some of them, who knows.
