If I take over the counter sleep medicines or any except Xanax, they make me real nervous & keep me awake. When I was prescibed antidepressants a long time ago, one day of taking them kept me awake for days, I would like to quit smoking but worry that Chantrix will make me nervous.

You probably want to consult with your doctor about this concern. I've never personally taken Chantix but according to their site, side effects could include agitation and sleep problems. See http://www.chantix.com/content/side_effects_safety.jsp?setShowOn=../content/About_Chantix.jsp&setShowHighlightOn=../content/side_effects_safety.jsp

 

Good luck on quitting!
