Chantix is like Wellbutrin in that it does not supply any Nicotine. I tried Wellbutrin once. It was horrible. This is nothing like that.
I have no idea what it does to one's medical. |
Doc Forred will weigh in, I'm sure, but I'm 99% certain that you cannot fly at all while taking Wellbutrin. Although it's prescribed as Zyban for quitting smoking, it's an anti-depressant and the FAA doesn't like those. At all.
I did take Chantix for a while, and Jeremy's nailed down the side effects pretty well, although my symptoms were not as extreme. I didn't have nightmares, but I did dream more intensely - it's hard to describe.
You need to up your fiber and water intake considerably if you're on Chantix, I have decided. Exercise also helped me when I was taking it - seemed to help level out the evil moods.
