Chantix caution: Chantix, which is actually a good smoking cessation medication, has been asociated with significant behavioral changes even in the absence of other drugs. Nicotine gum, patches etc. Are no more likely to cause problems than simply smoking. Zyban (bupropion) (wellbutrin) should be avoided because it might ramp up the mania.

Medication effects: Quitting smoking has numerous health benefits. Risks of tobacco cessation medications include worsening pre existing psychiatric conditions. Some of these tobacco cessation medications can interact with psychiatric medications and should be discussed with a physician.
