I was able to quit after smoking for over 35 years. However, I only needed to take the drug for one month and four months after stopping, I still have night terrors.

while this drug helps you quit smoking, which is so very vital to your health, the withdrawal of the drug feels as though you may die from it.
bone aches, swollen joints, so tired that you cannot fuction on a daily basis. it also changes your taste buds. fresh clean water tastes like soured grapefruit juice. coffee taste burnt. both my husband and i had different but just as dramtic side effect
