Just put myself on a new prescribed medication a couple of days ago, Chantix, to help me quit the dreaded smoking habit. I swear I have never had a session where I was so out of sync, out of the pocket, out of the groove or whatever you want to call it. I have been feeling a little out of it ever since I started taking it on Thurs and it does not seem to be getting any better, I honestly don't know how to explain how it makes me feel. It was like my brain knew what it wanted my extremities to do but my arms and legs were about half a second behind my brain. I could keep time/tempo good but when it came to doing fills or off timing stuff it just didn't happen. We are obviously all different and have different reactions to certain things but man this is really terrible. Don't let this scare you away from this medication, especially to help you quit smoking, but just be aware it could have some adverse affects. No wonder why I don't like taking any medications. Dam...I do believe the juice is worth the squeeze for this so I will stay on it and hope the reactions fade away...
