Is the physical risks of smoking worth the mental and psychological problems that may arise by using Chantix? Changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions make Chantix dangerous.

Chantix is a prescription anti-smoking drug designed to lower nicotine cravings and ease nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Chantix received FDA approval in 2006 after the drug was proven to block the brain receptors responsible for the pleasurable effects of smoking.

In February 2008 the FDA issued a Chantix public health advisory and warning. Prescribing physicians and Chantix users were cautioned that the drug had been linked to neuropsychiatric symptoms, including depression, agitation, and actualized suicidal behavior. In the statement issued by the FDA, the public was also alerted that Chantix may raise the reoccurrence risk of past psychiatric illness or may aggravate current mental illness.
