My intententions are `Truly` to tell you my story and give you as much information as possible. Not much is known by anyone other than Phizer and those of us who have taken it. I've even had to make my doctors aware of the danger.
After making one of my doctors aware of what happened to me he studied up on Chantix. My next appointment he told me this medicine affects the `Emotional` Part of the Brain! And, this is a VERY Dangerous place to go! Psy. meds affect the Chemicals in the brain.
An example would be if your doctor gave you something supposed to Help you, but affected your motor skills. You might not be able to move your arm no matter how hard you tried, how many times you called your doctor, or going off the med. as soon as you felt the symptom.
I took the first days pill, smoked, got up and took 2nd days pill and within seconds i felt something i've never felt before, Suicidal! And I KNOW when to call a doctor if something i've been given dosent seem right. I wasn't going to call a doctor, I Really wanted to die.
My heart palpitates 24/7. I sweat Dripping 24/7 no matter what time of the year it is. Sleep, i sleep on an average of 3 Maybe 4 nights a week and thats not just laying in bed, its staying up in a position that i can feel safe and do something that helps take my mind off of it, like making jewelry. Thats pretty much when i started making it. Yes, i have two small pituitary tumors, that may agravate the symptoms, but i'll never forget the day my life changed and i still have to think really hard to try and remember who i was. There's alot more, but as i sit here almost 2 years later as of 10/07, i have to stop; it makes my heart beat faster writing about it. I"ve still not been able to see if there are any Real studies or insight into permanent damage. If this was just stress related, That day would have been the night i got the call my little brother was killed on a motorcycle and my dad was in the hospital with a stroke then heart attack after hearing about my brother.
There's much more to my story but will write more later. I'll leave with a few you with some links of others stories. Please post your experience good or bad. We'd love to hear from you.

I found it interesting to start at the last page of 245 posts and still posting. The symptoms are unbelievable and not going away. The posts started 10/04/06.

9/18/09 what i might have failed to tell you is the 2 worst symptoms were made Unbearable after this experience above. First Pit. tumor, Menapause, then this drug, who knows the long term side affects of This drug. But i already had the symptoms before this drug. There will be some days my writing will make not one ounce of sense to you. I dont always go over and try to proofread, its stressful enough just writing about it.
