Taking More Chantix Than I'm Supposed To (Top voted first)

I took Chantix and quit smoking years ago. Lately I started again. The Chantix wasn't working this time so I doubled the dosage, it is working perfectly now but I'm afraid the double dose will kill me!? My side effects are the exact opposite of what people describe. It seems to help my mood, I feel better, I'm doing really well and I'm not smoking no bad dreams none of that. Only the fear that the double dose is dangerous. Anyone have an opinion here?

How are you doing? Have you experienced any problems?

It would be best to inform your doctor that you've doubled up, so they can check for any possible problems.

Chantix has been known to cause depression and suicidal thoughts, in some people that take it, as listed by the FDA and there is a greater risk of that with higher doses. You may also experience nausea, headache, weight changes and mood swings.

How long did you try it, before decided it wasn't working?

P.s. When I say I doubled the dose I don't mean I went from the starter pack to the blue ones, I'm taking 2 blue ones at the time, twice a day
