Hello All! I am new so please bear with me. I have a question. My Husband who had been taking Chantrix for 4 weeks had to stop taking this due to a as he explained it "Fuzzy Brain" he could not think and he is a Computer Programmer.
So he has stopped but now he has become agitated,argumentative and just a bear to live with. He has NEVER been this way. This weekend we spent fighting and we have been married for 35 years and we had not fought like this since early in our marriage! So I was doing research and had read all the warning labels and such and folks who have been experiencing the same thing. So my question is: If Chantrix blocks Dopamine in the Brain and he has stop taking the drug how long will it be for the drug to get out of his system? Has Chantrix for ever changed his personality? I mean he was happy, easy going, slow to anger never argumentative he just smoked for 20 years and wanted to stop!

Also would taking supplements to help Dopamine levels help? Also he is on Lotrel,
Tricor,Actos. Which he has been taking for 7 years. He is 53.

Thank You for your Help!

Im sorry to say that i dont know much about Dopamine levels but I did take Chantix and i thought i was going to litterly go INSANE and put in a straight jacket! When i stopped the Chantix it took about a week but i did get back to normal. Tell everyone you know...Chantix is HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS in my opinion!
