That's exactly what I was telling you. I should cut 'em in half and wean myself off 'em.
That'll also mean I can take 'em longer, eventually taking them only as needed... If I get another prescription, I'll be damned sure to continue taking the medication at a reduced rate until I no longer feel like taking it.
They were taken off the market for a reason weren't they?
Yeah, they contained a chemical in the binder/filler that had a very tiny chance of causing cancer.
Yeah...
Tobacco has a 100% chance of causing cancer (over time). The binder/filler had like a 1:10,000 chance of causing cancer. So, instead of 0.001% chance of causing cancer vs 100% chance of causing cancer... And they took it off the market.
It's still off the market, I think. I'm on the generic formulation - which I believe they allowed a little earlier than normal just to get it back on the market.
Best thing would be to get off the tobacco and off the chantix then.
