Chantix May Kill Me


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

So I decided that it is time to quit smoking again and started taking Chantix almost 2 weeks ago. So far I have cussed out my boss, a couple girls that I know, a good friend, went ballistic on a conference call that I was running and then disconnected everyone, and decided to quit playing nice with my ex and let the courts handle it all. Not one of those things is a good decision on my part but I am not known for making good decisions anyway. Oh yeah and the girl I am seeing was very understanding at first and I told her what to expect but I am pretty sure she has had enough and I don't blame her nor do I seem to give a fug.

This is my second go around on this stuff and the last time was about 6 years ago. Seems the side affects are much worse. I hate people, no sex drive whatsoever, headache every day for 2 weeks now, dreams that make you wake up 3 -4 times a night in cold sweats, throwing up every morning, ran 3-4 redlights because I zone out, etc. I am thankful I am not one of those people that has taken the stuff and walked out windows of 30 story buildings in their sleep or woke up to find a bloody butcher knife in their hand with their favorite pet dog dead in front of them but I sure can understand how it happens.

Thanks for letting me vent. You may just have saved someone's life. And boys and girls.....don't smoke, it's terrible and so not worth it.

The End

May not be for you.

Try cold turkey.

I don't have that will power. In fact, I am worried that I am going through this and really don't want to quit yet which means I won't.

I just realized how fitting my avatar is. I may start a fight club this weekend. Might help relieve some tension. Who wants in?

my MIL was using that poo while she was living with my wife and i... she's already a fuging bitch, but it was insane while she was using that stuff

still smokes like a fuging chimney too... and is offended by people who are able to quit (or at least slow down) their smoking

Drugs that block receptors in your brain can't be good for you.

Love these stories and they are some of the more tame ones:

Well, it has certainly been a "trip" to say the least. My whole life has changed and not exactly for the better. I have had bazzar thoughts. Nothing I felt like taking action on, but wild stuff. Like, one morning after eating a bowl of cereal, I thought "I should pour this left over milk into the toaster"! Crap! I don't know!! When I drink beers, I have blank spots in my evening. I have never done this before Chantix. Thought about driving off of the highway for no aparent reason. Didn't think of getting hurt or wanting to hurt myself, it was just a real thought. I was completely fine before Chantix. I can't concentrate anymore. I use to be a very organized person. I've almost lost my job due to anger outburst. Hopefully this will be out of my system soon! I really do not like myself right now. but I'm Not Smokin!!!!

*********************

For me Chantix is doing the job, although I've been on it for only 7days now. The dreams are crazy and vivid. Last night I had a few beers, and this morning I was awakened by my wife. She was freaking out, and wanted to know how long our 3 month year old was sleeping out on the sunporch. The last thing I remember is putting him in his crib. So I must have slept walked with my boy!!! Crazy!! I may discontinue the med, gonna see if it happends again. If it was winter time the situation could have been deadly!

Have you tried wellbutrin? Was originally used for smoking cessation, and doubles as a depression/anxiety medication. Might be the better route for you.

Heard a lot of negatives about Chantix. A lot of weird stuff like vivid nightmares and sweating.

Yeah, I was on that while going through the whole seperation thing to help keep my head straight. Did nothing to curb my urge to smoke but under the circumstances, I don't think that was going to happen anyway.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
