I've been off of cigarettes since July 2005, but think I became hooked on nicotine gum, I hate it, but I get some nico in my brain and I'm sure even though I've been on 2mgs, I still think I've gotten hooked on it too, otherwise why would I still be chewing it this long, eh? LOL!!!
My GP's PA mentioned Chantix, claiming many people are now getting hooked on the nico gum, wow, from one habit to another.
Now, if Chantix boosts dopamine (I think that's it's claim?), wouldn't that also help mildly with dieting?
I read this Chantix can cause weight gain, ugh!! Heck I think, 35-40lbs that I've gained in a couple of years is enough, I can't take being fatter.
I'll get to the point,is Chantix different than Bupropion/Wellbuterin, SSRI's? Is it a med that works on dopamine (feel good thingy) and would be sort of like a CNS? IT would be so very cool to get those side effects, I haven't had CNS's for a long time, they were great.
Doe's it really cause weight gain and constipation?
Anyone have any luck without weight gain, please reply.
Thanks in advance,
