I began taking chantix on nov.2007 and stopped when the alerts began showing up on the news. two weeks after i stopped i began having dizzy spells and passing out. after test after test was done it was determined the electrical system in my heart was not working properly so a pacemaker was implanted. i believe the chantix caused this problem from the start and i urge anyone who is still on chantix to STOP asap. this is not a drug to play with.

How long did you take chantix?

I've heard several horror stories abot this drug, but it's not much different than any new drug. I still believe the drug is better for you than smoking.

i took chantex for 6 weeks. believe me this drug is not better than smoking.
it is a terrible drug to use to quit smoking. i have found another way to quit.
commit lozenge cherry flavor worked great for me.
I have spent in excess of $120,000.00 to be able to live after chantex. that alone makes it not worth the risk plus every 10 years or so i will have to have my pacemaker replaced.
