Has anyone heard of Pfizer's Chantix

Hello, I'm really glad I found this site. I started Chantix 9/12 and quit smoking on 9/19. I have had a rough time the last two weeks and yesterday went on Chantix's website to see if what I was experiencing could have been a possible side effect. Well I couldn't find anything there! I have found a lot of info here thanks to you all. I now know what it feels like to be depressed! I sleep all of the time and when I'm awake I'm so full of anger and lash out at my family. I can't focus/concentrate and seem to be very forgetful. I haven't gone to the office much (twice I think) and haven't been social with friends. This is not the person I am! I guess I can be thankful that I haven't completely lost it yet since I recognized that something was wrong and sought some answers. I don't think I ever had any side effects from medications so this would be the first in 32 years! On a happy note, I have been smoke free for 16 days! After reading these comments I think I'll try and cut my 1mg pills in half and see how that goes before completely stopping. It's really nice to read success stories from people taking Chantix and even better to see how you all support each other! Good luck to all of you that are on Chantix.  (Oct 7, 2007 | post #3512)
