Does anyone know what happens when you cold turkey off Chantix?

I was a big advocate, even though I had decided it wouldn't work for me because I wasn't ready to quit.

But since I have stopped taking it (4 days) I am having severe nightmares, nausea, a depression, just my body feels fucked up..... I've tried to Google and Yahoo and Dogpile for negative effects... amazingly enough I get nothing but sites that promote or give positive views of Chantix. (Except one site and all that says is that the tests were rigged by Pfizer and the success rate after 1 year is at most 1 in 5, and that is even pushing it.

I just can't believe Chantix has no bad side effects or withdrawals whatsoever.

I WILL NEVER be suckered into taking a pill to miraculously save me again. I knew it was stupid and I knew better but I wanted the easy way out.

The scariest part is there are not LONG TERM tests done.... how does your body react to this chemical and in 5 years do those of us who take it get brain cancer at high rates or liver problems or .....

Never again....... I was fucking stupid and looked for the easy way out and I knew better.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
