I was taking Chantix (varenicline) to help me stop smoking and by the time I got up to the full dose, in two week, I thought I was dying. All of T9 down was in pain. I have never hurt that bad.
I ask my pain Dr and he told me that the med released Dopamine and that my body couldn't handle it.
The medicine really works. It really takes the urge for a cigarette away after two weeks but the more I had to increase the dose the more intense the pain was. So, was wondering.

Well. DR Wise, I was really wanting to know why the chemical compound could increase the pain so severely. I'm talking 200%. I can't understand why the ingredients in that pill could do that.
Thanks anyway, Mary
