So, I went to the doctor yesterday and got myself a prescription for Chantix.
The most common side effects are nausea, sleep disturbance, constipation, flatulence, and vomiting. Less common side effects are mostly digestive related, but there is a flurry of sleep related ones: insomnia, abnormal dreams, sleep disorder, nightmare.
Some others: headache, dysgeusia, somnolence, lethargy, fatigue/malaise/asthenia, rhinorrhea, dyspnoea, upper respiratory tract disorder, rash, pruritus.
This one could go either way: Increased appetite or Decreased appetite/Anorexia. I hope I get the decreased!
Fewer than 1 out of 1000 patients reported euphoria in clinical trials with CHANTIX.
And here’s the worrisome bit:
All patients being treated with CHANTIX should be observed for neuropsychiatric symptoms including changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior.
Anyway, the doc said I will probably stop smoking in 5 to 7 days. The drug blocks the nicotine so smoking just won’t work anymore. I’ll detail my progress here.
