Sounds like your inner life is a living hell anyway, Pamy; you got nuttin' to lose except a bad habit. There there. I am trying to think if I quit during peri-menopause. Probably so, probably so.

Don't count on it, Pamy, but I am offering your boys shelter in case they need it.
You can do it! Look at GAL, she seems to be breezing (or is it breathing?)through all of this. Yay, GAL!!!

Kayla, congratulations on your decision. You sound like you are absolutely ready to tackle the monster, too!

Hey, Twinks, you really are doing so well this time! You know, even now that craving still startles me sometimes, but it's only a fleeting moment and passes quickly.

Thanks, Lum! Yep, that's the thing. If you can just wait a couple of minutes it passes.

Ya, so I've been off the Chantix for about 10 days now and I'm still having weird side effects like not sleeping and vivid dreams, numbness in my arms. Most notably, I've basically been crazy. I'm talking laughing like a hyena at shit that's not funny and making weird comments to our employees and being generally unaccountable for my moods.

So this morning Colossus and I started to get nervous, because this is the kind of crazy you can't hide you just have to let it out and put up with people asking you if you're ok. And if I'm still having the happies 10 days after I'm off the medicine, maybe the medicine uncorked a bottle of crazy that, you know, can't be poured back in and permanently closed off with a screw top and gorilla glue or something.

So here I am trying to figure out how I'm going to hide the crazy and explain it to my cats and it occurs to me that I've been taking beta blockers for a few months now, before during and after the Chantix. In a rare moment of clarity I look up the side effects of the beta blockers and guess what?

I don't have a permanent case of the crazies. The beta blockers are making me crazy. And giving me vivid dreams and numbness in my arms, etc. And I wrongly accused Chantix of doing all this to me, although I'm sure it contributed while I was taking it. I'll be going back on the decreased dose of beta blocker now, thank you.

Colossus kind of likes it, he says I should take double the dose while we're on vacation in Cancun. Because crazy wives demand sex all the time and tell people their husband requires four minutes to unfold his ding ding before he can get started and stuff like that. Heh.

Tell it, Mocha, LOL. Pamy, I started taking them in the morning its easier to remember. RatBastard is one of the all-time great cussword/descriptives. Oh, and Pamy remember you don't have to stop at the 1-week mark like I did. Take your time and decide when you're ready. The medicine does its own talking. You'll know when you're ready to hand them over. Twinkie is right, different strokes for different folks.

I took my first pill this morning! I am having a bad pain day but I was having it before the pill. I dont think I felt any side effects from it which is great.

I got a pack that has the dosage all laid out which is cool....next 2 mornings 1 pill ea, then on days 4-7 1 in am , 1 in pm.

GAL, LOL I agree Ratbastard is really the only word that works in certain situations :-)

Uh GAL... when I smoked, I hardly ever had dreams, or if I did I did not remember them.

When I quit, the dreams became intense. I had tingling of the arms and tongue, too. The tingling has gone away, and the dreams have lessened, but I still have a good one every now and then. (Just ask Heyitslori.)

I believe it is the re-growth of nerve endings, or something like that. Your body is healing. It will get better. Or it's the beta blockers.


I am so proud of you, Pamy, Twinks, Kaylasmom and everyone else who has recently quit!!! A big thanks to all of the supporters here, too!! It helps.
