Day 1 on Chantix
I went to the pharmacy today to pick up my perscription of anti-smoking superstar, Chantix. It was a whopping $133 which my insurance decided they wouldn't pay. It's ok though because I used my flex spending account to pay for it instead. I was actually doing ok quitting on my own but it was really difficult at work. I sit by the door everybody goes out of to smoke and am constantly asked if I want to smoke. At home, however, I really don't have much of an urge and it's not like the urge will keep distracting me from something important.
So anyway I went to pick it up at the pharmacy and I got to talk to the pharmacist so that he may explain how to take it. I get these 4 boxes, 3 of them blue, 1 of them green. I start with the green one and take 1 a day for 3 days then 2 a day for the rest of the week. He actually told me to smoke during this time. A doctor in the medical field, told me to smoke. Ha! Of course, not wanting to go against the pharmacist's orders I immediately bought a pack of cigarettes at the nearest gas station (I shoulda used my flex spending account for that since he told me to smoke). I had 2 throughout the rest of the day and not 1 since. I have already taken 1 of the pills so I don't know if I just don't desire a cig or if it's the drug already working.
Another thing the pharmacist told me is that the side effect of this drug is that it'll give me vivid dreams. That could be good, since I rarely remember any of my dreams anyway...maybe I'll become more spiritual if I can remember my dreams...HAHAHAHAHA! right...
[edit] Last night I had a very vivid dream. It was almost lucid in that I knew I was dreaming and I could control some of the things in it. Anyway, in my dream, Lucky banned me so I went to the videosift headquarters (which by the way is in a huge skyscraper office building). Lucky tried to convince me that I was writing shitty comments and emails to people and yadda yadda yadda. He had evidence in my dream, I just don't remember if it was really things I've typed. Him and Dag were very very mean to me...and I don't remember if they had faces.
