What could cause this?

the effect of being on chantix without being on it? loss of smoking sensation, as if you were on this medication. I took it over a month ago and stopped it, now I am getting the same effects as if I were taking the pill. For the last 4 days. I can't figure out why I would have this. Cigarettes taste nasty, and as if It is not getting to the brain. I swore my husband was slipping me the pill in something.. So I checked my script cuz I had one for a month. None of the pills are missing, So I am freaking thinking I have a tumor on my brain or something. What else could cause this sensation or loss of sensation. I am not sick. This is why I made the post Government Conspiracy because I really thought they were putting the shit in the Cigarettes without telling us.. I just don't know what this could be or mean? Anyone???? The only thing I have done differeant this past week is used sensodine toothpaste. Switched back after 2 days. And the auroma thereapy I had with the facial last Tuesday.. I don't know if that could have something to do with it or what.. I am going nuts

I had to go to ask.com to find out what chantix, is. could you be getting a cold or having an allergy attack? Either one could mess with your taste buds. I'm not sure, but it seems to me, that sensodine toothpaste could not only de-sensitize your teeth, but maybe your taste buds, too.
I'm trying here....
I don't think you are going nuts!

do you mean that no tastes are getting to your brain?

i don't know for sure, but i don't think this is a symptom of a brain tumor. i think you're okay baby...
now i'm doing research online for you.

well I know it did about 2 days after taking the medication... But it has almost been 2 months now since I took it.. Do you think That this is a side effect it could have long term that they don't know about??? It is just really weird.. Like freaking me out weird..

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
