My doctor took me off of the medicine immediately and said I had to stop taking because it could lead to other problems. I was back into the doctor for other complications and I told him about the hives, he stated the Chantix was out of my system and told me to take Claritin 10 mg. This has help but I have to take it everyday and they still come back just not as bad. I have another appointment this Friday. If you have found anything out about this please let me know.

anyway after a friend said i looked dead and was acting like a zoombie i just quit i did not take another pill and i started to feel more alive. shortly after i started haveing lower back pain and lower abdominal pain i returned to the dr. and said i felt as though i might have a kidney infection. after a slight uti diagnosis and some antibotics i felt better but this would turn in to multiple visits, test, and antibiotics the last few times i did not test positive for infection but ended up in the ER when my friend found me luckly unconcous in the floor of my bedroom. turns out i had a kindey infection so bad that there was a pocket of pus on my right kidney. along with all the kidney fun came a much more painful experiance i now go into what i can only explain as random labor. i have had to children natural that means vaginal with no drugs. and now for some reason i get the pleasure of experiancing that pain repeadedly and randomly. all i can do is hold myself while lying in a fetal position and cry. so for i have been to 3 gyn speacilist with one doing explortory surgery and a gastro. dr. all blood work comes back fine and no one knows whats wrong with me. all of them just want to take out all my girl parts and hope for the best. sorry not good enough! alopng with all that as if its not enough i have chronic wide spead pain sometimes sharp but mostly achy feels like its in my bones its just brutal i hurt almost all the time. i dont know what to do i am so tired of being in pain. so now i have put on 25 pounds, i have no interest in doing anything and the problems just seem to keep coming my stomach desends i dont sleep well my hips are killing me as i type this. this is gonna cause me to lose my job if not more. i just dont know how people can live in consent pain. o and bythe way if you havent noticed i can no longer spell i have memory loss so bad i cant remeber anything. im not even sure if i coverd everything here but im not giong back and reading it yet again. so point is if theres anybody out there who has experianced this or know anything that can help me ok here it goes. this is the first blog i have done about this althought i have read countless others trying to find someone with my most troublesom problems. my work place decided to go tobacco free and announaced to quit date of 9/1/ 2009.they also provided assistance with info. and possible discounts on whichever aid u needed to help you stop. i had just turned 40 in sept.i had always been healthy and had not seen a doctor for 16 years, i figured i was getting older and i needed to stop smoking so i made an appointment to establish a primary care doctor 1/2009. she did a new patient exam with all the labs and gave me a clean bill of health. near the end of the appointment i told her that i needed to quite smoking and she readily wrote me a perscription for chantix. now the fun begins when i went to pick it up the pharmacsist told me about the dreams and i jokingly said i was already having vivid dreams so this should be interesting. so i began the chantix and right away i had headaches and naeusa constantly about half wat through the second week it was all i could do to get out of bed if i didnt have to be at work. i would make myself go to the couch just to get out off bed but would be right back in it within 30 mins.by the 4th week i was just a zombie o and by the way my dreams had stopped completelyfrom day one its like it shut my brain down!

Went to bed on a Thursday night with what I though were heat blisters, woke up Fri. morning covered in hives. By Sat. I was covered from neck to knees. The itching is unbearable. Went to the ER & received 2 shots, sent home with a script for Prednisone, which is taking away the itch & slowly the hives are fading. Something needs to be done to have this drug taken off the market. I would rather be smoking than dealing with the hives & non-stopping itching. Sharon/Tony/Theresa/Connie, I feel for what your going through. Stay strong. I had been using Chantix for about 3 weeks.

This sent me to Emerg Rm 2 separate days and was put on intravenous Benadryl, which did not help. Docs there could not see the welts on my skin, which I could see from where I was standing looking downward. They did see a lot or redness, though. Went to Dermatologist. I was prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment & Xyzal (oral med), which helped a lot. However, this medication numbs the nerves on your skin, but one will get sensation back on the skin after one stops using it.
