Chantix and sleeping

[ericamanda01]

A few weeks ago I started Chantix and it's working great. I tried it before and know all about the weird dreams, but I didn't stick with it as well as I should have. I don't think I really wanted to quit at the time, so I knew it wouldn't work.

My question is sleeping, I have been sleeping anywhere from 9-11 hours a night. Now in my entire life I have never slept more than 7-8 hours at a time. It used to be if I took a nap during the day I would sleep less at night. Not now! Does anyone know if this is because of the Chantix or just because I quit smoking?

I took Chantix for 5 months and have not smoked in a little over a year.
It really messed with my sleeping patterns. Some weeks I would sleep a lot and others hardly at all.
It has all kinds of quirky side effects but I still think it is the whole reason I was able to successfully quit and I would do it again in an instant.

Good luck

Thanks. It does feel like a miracle drug. I still think about smoking, but I think it's out of habit. I just want my normal sleep back, I hate sleeping so much.
