It also makes you very angry,violent,with pain and swelling in the hands,feet knees,elbows basicaly in all the joints of the body.This starts AFTER you stop taking the medication!Not to mention the dreams. You will feel PURE RAGE and won't know why.This drug is very dangerous and needs to be studied more before giving it to the public.They should take it off the market immediately.You will be hearing a LOT more bad reports if they continue to give this drug to people and not moniter them.Sure it works but at what cost?

I did quit smoking on chantix.I quit it after 2 months.In the 3rd month was so suicidal admitted myself to hospital for my families sake .I didnt even care I was there.Currently months later have focal like seizures daily supposedly nonepileptic seizures.So taking this med think if the risk is worth the gain?I wish I had never taken it.
