Well the dreams are individual basis I had absolutely none. I tried every freaking thing that came out and nothing worked until the chantix. My doc gave me coupons and it ended up like $50 off each month but even @ $160 it's cheaper than a month of smokes. Plus it sounds like you have your wife for support doubt she's gonna let you get suicidal. If you get bad dreams or thoughts then you need to talk to the doc and they may have to keep you on half dose longer.
