Reply #21: I wonder where they got their Chantix.

[CC]

The reason I wonder is this, "there was nothing mentioned in the brochure we both read." I used Chantix last fall (2008) including in November. You would of had to pull out your pills from all 3 packages and put them in a different container to avoid the warnings and list of side effects. That was without bothering to look at any of the package inserts, brochures, the strongly suggest website and the drug sheets from the pharmacy that comes with all prescriptions. The warnings did not just say these side effects could occur but to call your doctor if they did. Chantix worked for me when nothing else ever had after hundreds of tries over the decades. And that was with me not really interested in quitting but more the SO had a heart attack so I felt I should not smoke around him and might as well give it one more try. It wasn't as easy for me as it was for others I know but it did work. I did have vivid dreams as per the warnings and kind of miss them. They were not nightmares, just very vivid. I do understand that drugs affect people differently and the warnings are there for a reason. Unfortunately there isn't a way to force people to read the information provided before ingesting.

Then there is that free website to help coach you through quitting with the daily phone calls or emails of encouragement and support. They always ask about any side effects etc. I just do not see how they could of missed so many warnings if they purchased the drug from a legitimate source.
