Is Stiffness In Muscles And Restricted Mobility The Side Effect Of Chantix?
After taking Chantix for three months I am now am having problems with my mobility - walking any significant distance. I have been going to the gym and using the tread mill and have found some improvement. Was this a possible side effect of taking Chantix?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Chantix is not known to have any muscle stiffness/ restricted movements.
The muscle stiffness ( can follow trauma, muscle problems, spinal or local nerve compression )needs to be investigated with help of an orthopedic doctor's help. & then treated specifically .
You acn continue with Chantix safely.
Thanks.
