My SO recently used Chantix. The VA in michigan will not prescribe it if you have not seen a therapist and you haven't been on an antidepressent for at least 1 month prior to starting. One common, significate side effect of Chantix is increased depression, more than just quitting smoking would do for a person. My SO had very vivid dreams as a side effect and though they were wierd they weren't disturbing. Another person that I know had unpleasant dreams and so couldn't finish the course of Chantix.
It did reduce his cravings for cigarrettes. The only thing he would have to fight otherwise is that actual mental habit of lighting up at certain times and places. It hasn't worked too well for him but it has worked better than the gum or patches for sure.
