I have been on my seventh day of chantix. Smoking to me now has become to taste like licking the bottom of an ashtry...:D I have, however, been having alot of anxiety and strange dreams when I can sleep. I was hoping this medication would be able to help me sleep more as I am bipolar and tend to have high energy sometimes anyway. Anyway, have been exercising my poor little dog to death, however, she seems happier than I have seen her in a long time. I don't want to give up on the drug as it is working after only seven days - I mean really who wants to lick the bottom of ashtrays? Any suggestions?

:confused:Are you asking what are the side effects? According to the commercial, the bad dreams are apart ot it. I also saw on the Today Show where it was stated that dry mouth and a host of other nasty things were side effed5w. Some meds can't be mixed, why not do a drug tracker?

Good luck and keep us posted.l
