		<description>two hospital stays - - Jan. &#039;08 - - May &#039;08

Jan. - - taken by ambulance middle of nite w/severe chest pains, short of breath and radiating stomach pains.  Put on oxygen, morphine, tests of every kind...run...nothing.  Released week later w/diagnosis &quot;possible virus of some sort...&quot;

May - - took drive to Walgreen&#039;s, purchased two bottles of sleeping pills along w/one from home and razors.  Downed over 240 pills - - woke up six days later surrounded by family.  Was given last rites, kept alive on respirator...spent time in psyche unit.

Ostracized by all.  Only one person knew I was taking Chantix (as I was a closet smoker - - 4 cigs per day).  Oct. &#039;08 - - my mom kept giving me negative articles about Chantix side effects.  Finally, I started to pay attention and was ecstatic to find out I was not alone!  I am praying Pfizer will be strung up for allowing such a mind blowing drug to be distributed.  I filled two prescriptions between Oct. &#039;06 and Oct. &#039;07.  Also, I had been one (10 years) and am still on an antidepressant for depression.  Let me say ONE MORE THING!!  Chantix is a lobotamy by mouth.  I never thought twice about throwing myself away.  In fact, it wasn&#039;t a matter of &quot;IF&quot;...it was &quot;WHEN&quot;...my mind was not my own.  I decided I was tired of living and that was that.</description>

		<description>I’ve been successful on Chantix for 10 months, gradually decreased the dosage over a two month period to .25mg and then zero for the past three days. And it is definitely not without its side effects, though I haven’t experienced the common nausea related ones – just sleep disturbance and mood effects. And now, the coming off the Chantix phase, I’m just hoping some of the mood disturbance and labile states do go soon. I’d be interested in comment from anyone else who’s taken Chantix over a longer period than the 12 or 24 weeks.</description>
