Well, the way I understand the Chantix, is it blocks the nicotine receptors, and it also causes some of the additional dopamine to release. So it does some of what the nicotine used to do and keeps the nicotine from working. If that makes any sense. You keep taking it because in time your nicotine receptors will go away, and your brain will resume making dopamine like it did before nicotine came into the picture.
I had the vivid dreams for the first couple of weeks and then they went away and I don't remember them anymore. I found them entertaining.
