DISQUS

That is very interesting. I too have had similar situations that now make a little more sense. I just started taking Chantix, at my doctors request, about a month or two ago because I have a rare lung disease called sarcodosis. I've tried everything to quit smoking. A co-worker of mine was taking it and suggested I try it. I did for awhile and was doing fine, I thought. My wife told me I wasn't myself anymore. I would talk constantly in my sleep (I was having some wierd, vivid dreams) and she said I seemed depressed. I didn't think anything of it. I started hearing about Chantix in the news and decided to do more reseach on it. I stopped taking it for awhile. My next doctors appointment I informed my doctor that I had stopped because of the negative publicity I was hearing about it. My Doctor told me to start back and that the benefits out weigh the risks. So I started taking it again. I've noticed recently that I've been doing some crazy things behind the wheel also. I would forget about stop signs in my own neighborhood or I would pull into an intersection just barely soon enough to avoid getting hit by an oncomming car. I think I understand now what's going on and I have stopped taking Chantix for good. I'll find some other way to quit smoking. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
