hi loops,
thanks for the well wishes and vote of confidence!
i have had bouts of anger and anxiety going off the chantix. i did a taper down to 25mgs a day. yesterday was the last. can't tell if the feelings are from the chantix withdrawl or just being ticked off that i can't have my smokes. i had read some web posts that there is a withdrawl from the med. who knows? i just want to get it all out so i can see what my own baseline is. if it gets too weird, i'll try the st. john's wort. that gave me a wicked headache when i tried it before but at this point anything is better than the cigs!
a few years back, i spent a some time on the flight deck of our now defunct charity hospital. i had a bout of the crazies. if i could make it through that, i can make it through this. i don't know where the determination is coming from but i'll use it while i can. nicotine and i were in an abusive relationship and i'm just done! sounds like you are at that point too.
if the chantix is working, stay the course. it really did help me. sending good smoke free thoughts your way!
