Anyone who knows me, knows that I am laid back so it was completely out of character for me.

That was what I got from it. Tried it about 2 1/2 years ago right after it came out on the public market. I'm normally extremely laid back and relaxed, and my wife said I turned into a real asshole while I was on it. A quick temper and just really fast with mean comments. Nothing seemed different to me though. I still don't think there was anything different from my perspective. After she told me to stop taking it, she said it took me 3 or 4 more weeks to get back to normal.

The coolest side effect was the vivid dreams. I normally don't remember what I dream about. I might remember 1 dream every 6 months or so. On Chantix I remembered dreaming every night, and really vivid like they were actually happening. That was a nice change for the few weeks I was on it.
