I took Chantix for 4.5 months had to quit taking it early because I couldn't taste anything. Has this happened to anyone else? I've been off of the drug for 1 week now and still can't taste a thing.
Chantix - has anyone lost their sense of taste while taking this, when did it return?

My taste finally returned after being off Chantix for 1+ month.
I'm still smoke free and feeling good.
