I'm very upset that I didn't know about this opportunity to have gone in on a class action case I tried to commit suicide while taking Chantix and couldn't understand my mood swings I'm currently taking it again. Now after getting a text from the pharmacy about a possible recall and reading this I think I'll stop talking it altogether. Thank God I'm still here to speak about this.

My husband used Chantrix and he experianced all kinds of side effects- bad dreams,depression and rage, everything ! He was nuts !!! On Oct. 23 2009 he came home from the grocery store and he was just crazy-he stormed in the house and woke me up ( I'd just had major dental work done the day before) and I asked him what was wrong ? He flipped out, started grabbing clothes & other stuff (papers, personal items) and began putting it all in garbage bags and said he was leaving . He walked out the door, got in our car, and drove away.I talked to him one last time when I called him-he turned off his phone- just like that my marriage (11 YEARS) & life fell apart.

Aside from court, I never saw or spoke to him again (at his request). Our divorce was final in Feb. of this year & I still don"t how or why all this happened. The only thing I do know is I had a kind, loving husband until Chantrix came along. I wonder if I can sue the makers for destroying my life ?

I took chantix and after the first few days of it getting in my system, I was having terrible nightmares! Yes it helped with not wanting a cigarette, but loss of sleep and the dreams were overwelming. I suffer from depression already and on this I was really a basket case. Crazy is not the word! Be very careful taking this medicine! Lets just say I still am smoking but not crazy and want to drive myself off a bridge anymore.

I agree with Jessworcester 100%..I took chantix and the first week of taking it was fine; but you get to keep smoking. The second week you quit smoking, the side effects start to weazel in. I felt nauseous when I would think about a cigarette much less smell one within a block or two. Then I just started flipping out, out of nowhere. I was out of control with rage and I didnt even want a cigarette. Then I started having emotional rage where I didn't want to live in the world anymore. I have no history of depression whatsoever. I called and spoke with someone who tried to convince me to do my best to continue with chantix until I saw a doctor. I immediately stopped taking it. I smoked a cigarette and nearly gagged to death. But I still do smoke. It turned out that I happened to be pregnant with my daughter, without knowing it. My hormones were not responsible I do have an older son, and once I quit taking chantix I was back to normal, cut back to 4 cigarettes a day. I have been smoking for nearly 15 years and I am only 26. I feel like cigarettes help me deal with stress and life alot better, and they got me through my teenage years. I just need to get over my "twisted Love" of cigarettes, and realize that I have been intoxicating my body for 15 years, which has stunted my growth, and probably alot more side effects that I dont even realize. I really want to quit mentally, but I cant seem to put them away for good. I will continue to try my best, as I am pregnant again, and this one isn't going so well,....so far. Thanks for listening and please if you are thinking of taking chantix, and think well I dont have a history of depression so I will be fine, don't bet on it. If you do take chantix, just be aware of your behavioral changes and stop if you notice any signs of a disturbance.

I was on chantix twice. First time I was a zombie. My personality changed. Not to mention the vivid messed up night terrors. Bad dreams doesn't begin to describe these terrors and hallucinations. But I did quit for 4 months. Tried it again and reacted better. However i had suicidal thoughts for the first time in my life. Yes it blocls the receptor where one craves nicotine. Makes u naseau. However it comes with the price of night terrors depression and suicidal thoughts. So is it really worth it? My answer NO. Try the nic patch a cpl xanax and an electric cig.
