My doc gave me a prescription for the anti-anxiety/anti-depressive Zyban to quit smoking.

I almost completely lost any sense of fear. Oncoming car dead ahead? No problem! I had a rude waiter at a restaurant and started picking up the steak knife. I quit taking the meds shortly after that episode.

My pest control guy of 20 years quit smoking along with his wife. They were in their 50's. He ran a stop sign in a rural county and spent the next six weeks in county lock-up. The prescription for the medication to quit smoking made him crazy mean. The cop was not sympathetic. He got tazered and a few blows to the belly with a club to take his breath away.

Normally a calm guy. He fortunately went back to his two packs a day. So did the wife. If they had not, someone was going to die.
