KC720

On Day 8 of Chantix (which was also my quit day), I started having episodes of anger and sometimes what felt like uncontrollable rage. It must have been the increase in dosage. It has gotten less and less every day. My body is probably adjusting. I am normally a very patient person who is pretty easygoing so it was definitely weird to have the emotions I was/am having. I don't think it was the nicotine withdrawal being that I have quit multiple times before. I have gotten irritable during those times but nothing like this. I'm sure the rage part has something to do with having testosterone . So hopefully yours will only manifests as irritability only. I would hang tough a couple of days to see if your body readjusts. If not, I've read a few posts where they split the pills and take smaller doses throughout the day to alleviate their symptoms. I hope you don't get discouraged. Just remember whether its the withdrawal or the Chantix, your not planning on having either of them in your system after a fixed amount of time. You can be smoke free the rest of your life. I think your loved ones can get snarled at every now and then for a good cause. Don't beat yourself up for it and remember.......This too shall pass........
