Chantixx certainly is a wonderful concept--a drug that blocks the action of the nicotine receptors. But the FDA is receiving more and more complaints about strange and even potentially dangerous behavior happening with people who are taking it, particularly those who have combined it with alcohol. They did another piece on our local news about it tonight. The FDA is investigating these reports, and it wouldn't surprise me if that drug were pulled of the market fairly soon. If you're going to take it to quit smoking, get some now and get started while the getting's still good. Glad to read about successful outcomes here from you and others, Weedhound. I'm sure the stories of bad reactions only represent a tiny fraction of users' experiences, but it's causing enough concern that it's drawing attention now.

The bad news about Chantixx, from what I was reading in some pharmacology info the other day, is that it can not only block those nicotine receptors, it also dulls and/or blocks other chemical receptors in the brain, too. Like cannabinoid receptors. So smoking weed might not be as fun while on Chantixx as it is otherwise.
