More likely to commit suicidal "actions" than just have suicidal "thoughts," sounds like an awesome little blue pill.
In that order?
OH! It says, "in order" at the end. I ran out of room on my browser masthead from the Twitter jump. I'll sit quietly in the corner for a while now.
But the name is very pleasing. Chantix!
And no diarrhea. Miracle drug!
totally gregorian.
Nothing inspires more confidence than "1.0" stamped on the pill. By all means, tweak it later.
Just remember: smoking kills.
But... but... so slowly!
Unless you fall asleep while smoking and die in a house fire!
Or have a stroke or a heart attack. Nothing slow about that.
Really, really slowly! But don't worry- when the cancer kicks in, you'll be dead in 3 months- you'll barely feel a thing!
Chantix basically turns you into Roberto.
Well played. Now back up, I'm gonna practice my stabbing.
Imagine what second hand Chantix does...
It will Pfuck you up.
Oh, come on. "Catherine, I Dislike You" is TOP FIVE, at LEAST.

You two.
TRUER WORDS.
I'm sincerely confused about whether these are in order of awesomeness or horribleness. (Or simply the order in which they are listed on the package.)
(Or the order in which they happen to you?)
The order in which the corresponding lawsuits were filed.
Speaking as a former toiler in the pharma fields, this list doesn't seem to be in any particular order, except that "gas" is chosen for the punchline.
One reason there's such a laundry list of side effects listed surely is that we're actually talking about the interaction of two different drugs -- i.e., the stuff in Chantix, and nicotine, one of which is increasing in concentration in the bloodstream as the other decreases. Nicotine withdrawal alone is rationale enough for, e.g., "worsening mental health problems."
"Worsening mental health problems"
Because, yeah pretty much everyone is already a little crazy as this point.
10.5. Swelling of the penis?
Wrong little blue pill.
It's actually any blue pill. Aleve will give you a boner. Big Pharma Secret.
Hmmm, do you have any firm evidence to support this?
If so, I would like to take a look.
That's mighty servicey of you.
Well then we'll simply need new medication to treat all the angry, depressed, paranoid, gassy, vomiting, suicidal maniacs who suffer from breathing problems, mouth blisters, and peeling skin. That's the magic of pharma: it creates its own market.
You forgot "insomnia" and "nightmares".
Never again!
It gives you nightmares when you're awake!? Holy shit!

So it's not just my life?
I know 3 people who have died from smoking. Chantix? Not a one! Ha ha!
If you have a pool of 821 patients--as the Phase 3 studies of Chantix did--you'll get almost exactly the same number and type of side effects from administering a glass of water daily.

Do I need to everything for you damn divas!!
23, 31, and 32 are really just variations on a theme.
Can we combine those three and say it makes you 'roidy?
Ooooh! Does it also give you backne?
Not to engage in shillery, but my GF- who barely lasted 2 weeks on Nicorette, the Patch, or much of anything else- is on her fourth month without a single cancer stick, courtesy of Chantix. ...I wouldn't kick it out of bed just because the guy from Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians lost his shit- disturbing as that was.
You forgot random hoe downs and predisposition towards Care Bear rapery.
You're welcome.
In the clinical trials, I wonder if the people who killed themselves counted in the "successfully quit smoking" group? After all, you can't smoke when you're dead!
I wonder if I've unwittingly been taking Chantix for years.
Also, now I want a cigarette. Thanks, jerks.
me too! Sounds like the symptoms of "life" to me.
Loved it, loved it, loved it. I recommend it to everyone who is trying to quit smoking. I even enjoyed the nightmares (well, all of them except one...Scott Baio, ugh!).
No!! I had the suicidal "actions" without the suicidal "thoughts!" I didn't want to BE dead, I just wanted to kill myself!! If it can kill the will to smoke, that's not all it wants to kill.
I'm not usually this emphatic, but I feel the need to re-emphasize. BE CAREFUL. I would much rather die a smoker. Oh, the (suicide) plans I made.
Remember, they are required to list the most frequent side effects. But rankings mean nothing regarding likelihood. (A common misperception that p.r. people take advantage of all the time, boasting that some product or book is the #1 whatever, when the number of people that reflects could be tiny.) For example, the top most likely side effect may occur in only 2%, or 0.2% etc. of the people who take it, all other possible effects being even less (maybe a lot less) likely.
Aren't these things supposed to be anti-depressants?
I took Zyban for a while during a previous quitting attempt and it made me happy as Larry.
I used it and it was less than fun... It did the trick when it came to smoking, but man it sucked!
Do you not take this to encourage 'changes in behaviour'?
Side effects of smoking: Cancer.
A much better blue pill would be Cialis for Three Ways:

I'm on Zyban and I'm still smoking. Determined, me. Also: there is some prescription drug now, Latisse, that makes your eyelashes grow longer?? And one of the side effects of it--if you have blue eyes--is that Latisse may turn them PERMANENTLY BROWN?? One word: MASCARA.
Yeah, the farting was brilliantly funny, the consipation less so. Got over them after about a week and a half. Best side effect I found was incredibly florid and highly erotic dreams. Happily, these persist. Oh, yes, haven't smoked for about six weeks now.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to gargle with bleach each morning? Jebus.
