Theres and Refractory, I appreciate your insights. I went to see my doctor this morning and like I told him, "the good news is that I stopped smoking...the bad news is that I now feel like killing myself." (I'm being somewhat flip here, but my mood swings are like nothing I have ever encountered before).
My doctor started me on zoloft today and referred me for counseling. Good luck to anyone going on Chantix.
My physician said champix tablet can be used for 12w to quit smoking.but there is no representatives here in chennai to supply tablet and give counselling.if anyone knew pls help.
Hi Gee,
Quitting smoking definitely has a big impact on energy levels and such but I did that close to 5 months ago. I mentioned quitting smoking only because I'd wondered if there was a potentially bad interaction between Champix and Synthroid. I don't know that I've developed any new hypo symptoms....
m not quite sure what your friend and her husband used, but if it was chantix/champix, then the success rate is 44%. I used Chantix to quit and it really worked great. Saying that, there are so many people who have experienced side effects, some severe, so make sure you do your homework on it.
Most people that you tell truly want to see you succeed. The one who told you would not be able to succeed is probably bringing her own experience into your conversation.
He asked me why I was there. I had a sleep study and the sleep tech said there was no reason I should stop breathing at all. Even with the terrible nights sleep in the lab I had 2 central apneas and 1 obstructive.
I responded to his question with that. Then he wanted to "work backwards" and I had to go over the last 5 years of medical history that led me to a sleep study.
I have tried to quit smoking many times. The patch wroked but could not get down to step 3. I just tried Champix this last 2 weeks, and altho it really helped make the smoking useless, the dizziness, nausia and extreme anxiety and panic for 2 weeks straight was all I could handle and I didnt take the pill last night or this morning.
I am feeling better but really guys...Does anyone else have chest pain that lasts up to 3 hours? I do.
The research presented showed that as of this date there is absolutely no evidence to support a causal relasionship between Chantix and MS plus many of the other concerns listed. There is a minor causal relationship between Chantix and depression/suicidality but this association also exisits with many antidepressants to the same degree.
I have a question for those of you who used the Chantix to kick the cigarettes. I have smoked on and off for years, and I have quit several times for long periods of time, but this time I am in need of some sort of assistance doing it (the thought of no cigarettes is worse for me than the thought of no norco ever was). I don't want to spend any more money on cigarettes, I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, I always have, pretty weird for a smoker, huh?
Hi, I am 42 yrs old, I missed my period by 2 days, and on the weekend I was rushed to the hospital for food poisoning, my white blood cell count is high, and I feel better 2 days after the food poisoning. So I am wondering if I could be pregnant. I know I am old and I know my changes are very low, and I am in a place in my life where I don't want this to happen. I have looked into lyme disease, and any blood diseases assosiated with high wbc.
Hello! I was also concerned about the depression and the Chantix affecting me, but my doctor said that the likelyhood of feeling suicidal or more depressed is quite remote, so I decided to give it a try and would quit if I felt awful. I know of a few people who used it and actually claimed to have become "homicidal" and felt extremely angry and violent. Both of these individuals were very, very heavy drinkers, and I am certain that is why Chantix affected them that way.
30 most days to go into work(1st job), and dont have a cigarette until noon. If I am at the 2nd job waking up at 3am, I can hold off until about 6am.
My triggers: after I eat(trying to break that one), while driving(work related(2nd job), reposes cars, so the "hunt" adds to the craving as well), after arguing with friends and strangers, when adrenaline is up, drinking, while working on vehicles, and I think that's it.
I have smoked for 40+ years and want to QUIT! My Dr gave me a script for Chantix but after seeing some Thyroid issues here I'm concerned. I have no Thyroid due to Follicular Thyroid Cancer, I take Levothyroxine daily for the rest of my life and have to have blood work every 6 months to maintain my TSH T3 T4 levels to prevent the cancer from returning. Is it safe for me to take CHANTIX?
i already know in general pot is bad but would symbicort be counteracted by the pot in any way.
