Chantix update…..Just ran out of smokes……..

So here I am sitting at work and having had an awful drive to work (spilled 44 oz. of diet Mtn. Dew in my lap) I find that I am out of cigarettes. It is also my break time, the IDEAL time to slip out for a smoke and recoup from the crappy (wet) drive to work. And yet here I am…sitting at the keyboard hammering away at this update while slugging down a GIGANTIC cup of coffee. As break time approached I started to get that anxious/nervous feeling that a smoker experiences when they know that there are no smokes to be had. My “normal’ response would have been to say ,”fuck it…I’m bumming a smoke off of someone”, but I didn’t…and I won’t (1st battle won!)

For those who are following these posts to hear about what side effects I am experiencing while taking Chantix I will of course let you know, actually I will let you know right now.
To date the only side effects I have experienced are, a little bit of nausea (short lived) if I take it on an empty stomach (thanks for the warnings Pez….) and I do seem to feel a bit more “wound up”. Not anxiety, but……energy. I feel ready to go all the time for the most part, well maybe not as much in the evening (maybe coming down from the initial dose in the morning?). I am now taking the 1 ½ pill per day dosage btw. I’ll be on the two pill a day dose in two days.
Well I’m going to have to cut this shorter than I had originally planned because work waits for no man, at least not this man.


Later.
