Overheard At Work

Co-worker: I just started taking Chantix to try and stop smoking, but I'm afraid of what the side effects will do to my personality. They sound scary.

Me: What are the side effects?

Co-worker: Well, I could become suicidal....or overly aggressive......or violent....have increased bouts of depression...I could start hallucinating.

Me: Wow! How are we gonna know the difference?

You co-worker sounds like a bitch.

Funny. I actually saw a commercial for that stuff awhile ago and was amazed it was even on the market! About the only thing it doesn't do to you is make you want to smoke. I mean, the guy on the commercial was thrilled he stopped smoking. But then they start listing the potential side effects.
And they continued....
And they continued....
I got nauseous just listening to them, and had bad dreams, had constipation and diarrhea at the same time.
I think you just get too sick or weak to even pick up a cigarette. Or maybe you just forget that you used to smoke, or even what a cigarette is.

But at least I'm not smoking! :)

...not to mention that whole 'breaking in' period - as with any anti-depressant (oh yes - Chantix is also a happy pill) - where you need a head start of about an hour before your partner when doing 'naughties'.

Bloody aggravating.

I'd rather smoke.

At least then you don't chafe.

How would anyone tell the difference in most people?
