Getting off Chantix, Did anybody have a hard time? Depression? Anxiety?

I'm on my Third week of Chantix, I'm only taking the Morning dose because of BAD dreams and I could feel that two pills a day was WAY to much for me. Dreams have mellowed out to an acceptable level. NO desire to smoke or chew Copenhagen, ZERO! I have used nicotine in one form or another since I was twelve, I'm 47 years old.
Before Chantix I was always pretty irritable and stressed, angry and anxious, behind in getting my projects done around my house was pissing me off and I took it out on my family by being a grumpy old bastard and it got twice as bad if I stopped using nicotine.
With Chantix , I'm getting some of my projects done and I don't give a **** about getting behind, I'd rather play with my daughters, I even had the calmness to let my 10 year old help assemble a bed with me, something I could have never done without cursing, the wife would," say stay away from Papa he's a workin". Will I be the same old grumpy Bastard when I stop the Chantix? Anybody else similar story???

I just stopped chantix, and let me tell you this! Titrate off it very very slowly!!! I stopped cold turkey and I'm regretting it big time. I wasn't ever depressed, easily irritable or anything, but I am now. It sucks. I am always pissed off, and get raging angry over nothing. I can't sleep, even after taking 1mg of clonzapam and 2 Tylenol pm. Sometimes I'll be awake for a couple days. I keep getting nauseated and just feel like $hit in general. When you want to quit, start taking half of what you were taking for a few weeks. Then take 1/4 of what you were taking for a few weeks. If you notice your mood changing then you might need to get back on it, or start taking an anti-depressant.

I took it for about 3 weeks too, did'nt have "bad" dreams, just really vivid wierd ones. you will have to fight the urge constantly for 3-4 months then it will subside Im just over 7 months and since month 3 it gets easier& easier But it will be a daily struggle for a while
