Well i already noticed that it does make me more irratable. I was working cell block and the littlest ---- would set me off. I was acting like one of those ------- prison gaurds on tv lol. And it sucks cuz even after i start getting the cravings for a cig after a couple hours, when i do smoke it doesnt feel like im smoking. Just leaves my throat raw. today is only day 3 though, so maybe it will get better. havent had any problems with gas or shitting, but i still havent had to double my dose just yet.

Just try not smoking. Like for real. No bullshit "I'll just have one a day" if you really want to quit then ------- make yoru mind up and dont fuckign smoke for like 5 days. You'll see that after 3 days of not having one cig you will be just fine. then its all about breaking the habits like after meals or when you wake up.

You need to get your liver function checked asap. You are probably fucked.

Thats a fuckload of APAP, ever hear of cold water extraction, man. If youre gonna get high do it a bit safer. Personally vicodin sucks ***, I took 10-14 once and i felt nauseated, and the high wasn't worth the shitty feeling. CWE is fun though, extract about 15 of em and dry out the water, leaves you with pure hydrocodone.

Never knew about the experimenting on the war vets that's just wrong. IIRC the FAA banned pilots and air traffic controllers from taking it due to its side effects (and not the stupid ones like nausea and headaches) but more like it giving people the crazies.

I had a perfectly normal stable minded friend end up in a psychiatric ward for 4 weeks as the doctors thought he was a paranoid schizophrenic... and the cause was quickly found to be due to the Chantix but they had to keep him for observation. He hasn't had an episode since cessation of Chantix over a year ago. Phizor only tells you the most common symptoms in their ads... you have to do a little digging to find out all the possible side effects which is not easily accessible on their main website advertising the garbage.

I wasn't even trying to stop smoking a few years back when I was prescribed Wellbutrin (aka Zyban) for depression BS and I wanted nothing to do with cigs even without even wanting to quit after only a week of being on it. If I tried to smoke I would take a drag then want to puke... but it also has some nasty side effects. I stopped taking it after 3 weeks due to an epileptic seizure that was most likely caused by the meds. Haven't had a seizure since I stopped taking it and its a side effect that Glaxosmithkline took awhile to admit to.

The bottom line is the pharmacokinetics of these drugs is not ENTIRELY UNDERSTOOD. Sure they might make you not want a smoke but who knows what else their doing to all the receptors in your brain. Their just cigs. I would go cold turkey, gum, or patches unless your feeling lucky.

Seizures accompanying Wellbutrin have been known of since before the FDA approved the drug, it just works so well that they either give you a super light dose or co-prescribe a barbituate (typically Neurontin) to go with it.
