Champix mental dreams

[Waffles]

So that champix is good stuff  not only it's made me a non smoker without resorting to murder, but I get to remember the mental dreams I'm having.

The daftest yet (from last night) involves 5 identical talking cats running away from a stray dog in my garden while shouting "bad dog, bad dog" in a man's voice, the smell of bbq and freshly cut grass, bright blue parakeets flying over my head and a ginormous tiger roaring in a tree at the bottom of the garden. I could have sworn I really was out there, veeeery slowly walking towards the house without looking back so the tiger wouldn't eat me.

I actually had cramps from the tension when I woke up.

You remember smells from your dreams? Whoa!

I'm glad this stuff is working for you - it's really effective! I really struggled with the dreams, though and got some bad anxiety using it

Chantix?

My friend used it and said the dreams were insane. But as long as you stick with it, it works!!

You can do it!!

I've tried the meds to help quit smoking, but have had those really scary mental health side effects that they warn you about.

I just started this app called iQuit that's like a timer. You enter how much you smoke, how much you pay for a pack, and all this other information. Then it tells you how often you can smoke--first it stops you from chain smoking, then it slowly spaces out how often you're allowed to smoke. It lets you set a time frame, like: in 2 months, I want to be able to go 24 hrs without smoking. And while you're cutting back, it tallies how much money you've saved.

IDK if it will work, but it's worth a shot.

Get back to us if it works for you - that sounds like a great plan for tapering off.  I have a few friends that will quit on their own for a period of time but keep going back. I think having something like that to remind you would be a great tool.

Holy shit that is one vivid dream! My sister had a similar experience with dreams when she took it. She said they did ease up over time.
