Have you experienced anxiety or depression from taking chantix?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: I have seen particularly depression and suicidal ideation with the medication. Some individuals had no prior history of depression before trying the medication. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor as these are possible side effects of chantix.

Agree w Dr. Howell,: A handful of my patients experienced extreme problems w depression, suicidal ; homicidal thoughts, anxiety ; bipolar symptoms. These types of issues have led to n fda requirement for a black box warning: http://www.Aboutlawsuits.Com/chantix-black-box-suicide-warning-4684/ "a boxed warning will notify consumers that the smoking cessation drug may increase the risk of changes in behavior.

If ssri's are so safe to take for long term (30+ years), then why depend on meditation, exercise or other non pharma methods for depression and anxiety which are so slow in giving relief from symptoms. Taking a pill is so easy. But there is stigma?
