Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Being Hostile, Aggressive And Depressed With Thoughts Of Suicide, Side Effects Of Chantix?
my husband took chantix for a substantial amount of time. His personality totally changed. He used to be a great guy. He became hostile, aggressive, depressed, thoughts of suicide. His migraine headaches came back. He stopped taking chantix, That was about 3 to 4 months ago. He is starting to do better. Will all these side effects ever go away totally?
I understand your concern. Yes, what you are describing ARE known side effects of Chantix and your husband should immediately stop taking this medication and see a doctor, as soon as possible. These are serious side effects!! Also, please make sure your husband does not consume any alcohol because combination of chantix with alcohol is potentially dangerous.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you all the best.
