Have you had crazier dreams while on Chantix?

I've been on Chantix for about 3 weeks and it is working very well. I know nightmares is one of the side effects; I have not had any of those. But I have noticed that all my dreams are more vivid, more intense and kind of crazy. I'm wondering just how common this is. So if you are on Chantix, did you notice that your dreams got stranger?

    When I took Chantix I didn't have nightmares, but I did have really bizarre dreams. Normally I don't remember my dreams (or even remember that I did dream) but like you I had really crazy and vivid dreams. Sadly now that I'm off Chantix (I took it for 3 months starting in October) I miss the dreams. Now I'm back to not remembering my dreams.

    Good luck with quitting smoking! I'm still smoke free!

    I am on day 5 with Chantix at the moment and have had more vivid dreams since I started taking it. No nightmares or terrors or anything like that. It does seem to alter the sleep state a bit. I don't think this is a bad thing though! Nothing like a little mental TV while you are sleeping!
