Smoke free 7 days using Chantix

Lemme tell ya a little story...

I'm off the Chantix and started smoking again.

After a couple of weeks of being on the medicine and not smoking, I started getting stomach pains. Crazy ones, the kind that would have me doubled over for 10 minutes at a time. Once those stopped, the headaches started. Mostly in the back of the head, like a muscle ache. Those weren't so bad, but then they started creeping forward the front of my head. Felt like a really bad hangover headache. That lasted for about a week. I started to feel... well, just like not doing anything. Blah. I'd come home from work, be completely wiped out and want to do nothing more than go to bed. I couldn't stand to be around people, everybody annoyed the hell out of me. My wife, my boss, the guy on line ahead of me at 7-11, the little kid playing on his front lawn. After a week I realized I was in a pretty serious depression. I called my doctor, told him about the symptoms and he said to lay off the mediciation.

Almost as soon as I stopped, I started getting the headaches again. So now I went through the day with my head throbbing, hating everybody around me and wanting to throw up, then sleep. Nice, right? Not at all, I was completely miserable. A week or so went by and I started to feel a little better, but not much. I'm just now starting to come out of this funk. The headaches are gone, the stomach problems are gone, and I'm smoking again.
