Dr. Dheeraj Raina answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Synergism possible: If you are asking about chantix, both it and Paxil (paroxetine) have black box warning about risk of suicidal thougths. In addition, Chantix can also have risk of increasing suicidal thoughts or mood instability in the case of various psychiatric disorders.
