Teresa, if you see this -- Chantix has been associated with sucidal ideation. If you suffer from depression you should *not* be taking it. It's dangerous for you. Ask your doctor for an alternative like Wellbutrin. == I think I could have quit smoking with Chantix. I took it for a week and was down to about four cigarettes a day within two days. I wasn't a heavy smoker anyway but it was great to not have the desire or craving. During this time, I was becoming really depressed. After about five days, I lost the medicine. I found it a week later. I started taking it again Monday morning. Today is Wednesday and after struggling with sleep last night, I woke up this morning trying to find a reason to get out of bed. I'm severely depressed and have struggled today with thoughts of suicide. In the early 90's, I was diagnosed as a major depressant. I have not had any episodes since 1999. I'm not taking other meds so I have to believe this medicine has effected my chemistry. I'd rather have the cigarette habit. I have a friend who took Chantix. It worked for her and she's smoke free, three months. I would recommend this to someone who has never had a chemical embalance. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend taking the risk. Teresa Lemond == It helped me. I took it for six months and then backslid a little bit, but it had reduced my habit to the point where I was then able to quit completely.

Needless to say, if you've ever suffered from depression or had sucideal ideation, you should discuss it carefully with your doctor!

Is chantix a narcotic?

No way. Chantix is a pill that works for cigarettes in a way that methadone works for heroin addicts. it does not produce any euphoric or pleasurable effects, it only blocks the pleasure receptors that nicotene usually activates. Therefore, eliminates the effects of nicotene and reduces cravings at the same time. Dont take chantix to get high.

Can chantix cause you to fail a drug test?

Just about anything you put in your body is detectable therefore the question is not whether it is detectable, but rather whether it will be tested for. Chantix is an FDA approved (meaning its 100% legal) medication so there is no need for anybody to screen for it. Drug screening tests generally look for opiates, cocaine, marijuana and amphetamines though more specific tests can be found. Because Chantix does not fall into any of these categories, one need not worry about Chantix showing any "false positives" on the test. Lockheed Martin switched to a no smoking policy offering free Chantix prescriptions to those that felt inclined to keep their job; Lockheed Martin also runs extensive drug screening...

Can taking chantix get you high?

No, all Chantix does is block the nicotinic receptors in your brain so that you no longer feel the good effects of nicotine. However, in some cases, people taking chantix have had very vivid dreams, suicidal thoughts, and psychotic episodes - so, if any of those interest you, then give it a shot, lol. Good luck, and don't be stupid!

Chantix blood in urine?

Chantix is a relatively new medicine and all the possible side effects are not yet fully determined. It can affect the kidneys so any urinary tract symptoms are important to describe to your medical professional who prescribed the medication. Be sure you are taking it exactly as prescribed, the correct amounts and that you are not taking it for longer than the prescription said to be taking it. Report any unusual symptoms, like blood in the urine, to a medical professional. A pharmacist can also advise you about the side effects of Chantix.
