Chantix worry
Jun 20th, 2011 at 5:55pm
 
Has anyone heard the recent caution about people with cardiovascular disease and an increased risk for cardiovascular events with the use of chantix (a stop smoking aid)  I have heard the warning, but am seriously wondering what effect this would have on anyone with MM.  BTW, I haven't been on the site for over 2 years, it's good to see so many of you still here!

DO NOT USE CHANTIX!!!!!!!!!
My Husband without MoyaMoya used it for two months. He stoped after the second nightmare that he woke up screaming at the top of his lungs. He perminitly has a mild restless leg that doctors will not blame the Chantix on. Since my Husband is normal and healthy I can't even imagine the dammage it could do to a person with MM. He is now trying the patch and it is working well. He is on week 3 and he stops wareing in the afternoon.

Good luck
