Itching Never Ends...

I used Chantix over two years ago to quit smoking. Within a few days my lower legs broke out in a rash and the itching was unbearable. My doctor said to stop using the drug and see if things cleared up. I stopped using the medication. The rash went away a few days later and over time the intense itching subsided. However, to this date my legs still itch. It's a daily irritant. Anyone else with similar experience?

Hello, Steve! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

However, a medication side effect would not continue for that long after stopping it. The itching is most likely being caused by something else.

Are you on any other medications? Have you had it checked out by your doctor?

Chantix is approved by the FDA to treat nicotine addiction. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, weight changes, insomnia and change in taste.
