Bebop, and all here...
Well, I started taking the Chantix, but then my mother was hospitalized and then diagnosed with terminal cancer. Wanting to stick with the Chantix, I kept taking it for a week while she was in the hospital. They start you off gradually with only one Chantix a day, but by the day I started taking two a day, I started not sleeping...at ALL! I wasn't that stressed about Mom, as I knew of her condition and she was accepting of it, but the lack of sleep for 36 hours, due to the Chantix really sent me into a major bout of anxiety. I stopped taking the Chantix for now, as Mom is here in my home with the help and care of Hospice and my sister.
Maybe when all this is over, I will reconsider taking Chantix again, but it really did cause me not to sleep and gave me anxiety. I'm still struggling with the anxiety symptoms.
