Chantix - Drug Interactions / Side Effects Message Board

I have been on my seventh day of chantix. Smoking to me now has become to taste like licking the bottom of an ashtry...

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?

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
