Does champix really worsen depression? some online sources say it doesn't really, while others say there have been 100s of completed suicides from it.

Chantix: A number of healthtip doctors have written that they have had universally good results treating patients with chantix. I on the other hand, have seen some patients reacte with strong suicidal ideations (; homicidal ideations in one patient). The n number is small - but it is enough for me to proceed very cautiously with patients.
