Chantix is the American name for the smoking cessation drug that is called Champtix in Canada. I have heard good things about this drug, until recently when a friend who has been taking it began have very scary hallucinations and suicidal thoughts. Upon some research, she discovered that suicidal thoughts, paranoia, hallucinations, vomiting, and vivid scary dreams are all side effects of the drug. Another friend posted a link to this article about one man's experience with Chantix/Champtix.
Please read it if you are taking it or are considering taking it (or know someone who is!). I am appalled, outraged, and horrified that the FDA would even consider allowing a drug like this one to stay on the market with side effects like this. And people think I am crazy to stay as far away from Western quick-fix drugs like this...
