Chantix Depression

Made by Pfizer, Chantix is a prescription medication that can help people quit smoking by preventing their brains' receptors from enjoying nicotine. Despite initial excitement over the effectiveness of this drug, thousands of patients have reported experiencing a variety of health complications after taking Chantix.

Along with heart problems and diabetes, some Chantix users have developed severe mood swings, suicidal thoughts and/or depression.

Chantix Statistics on Depression, Suicidal Thoughts and Death

To date, the FDA has received:

491 patient reports of Chantix-related suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors
397 patient reports of developing Chantix-related psychosis, including depression
39 reports of patients committing suicide after using Chantix

Reducing the Risk of Depression with Chantix

As with any medication, some patients who take Chantix will have a greater risk than others of developing depression. In general, those with a history of bipolar disorder, depression or psychosis will be more likely to become depressed when taking Chantix.

To reduce your risk of developing Chantix-related depression, be sure to discuss your complete medical history with your doctor. Should you decide to start taking Chantix, be sure to regularly visit your doctor, as he can monitor your health and pick up on the early signs of Chantix-related health problems.

Also, take time to understand all of the possible side effects of Chantix. This will help you prevent irreversible health problems, as you will be able to recognize and get treatment for Chantix complications early on, should they develop.

How to Know If Chantix is Causing Depression: Symptoms of Depression

When it causes depression, Chantix will cause patients to start experiencing the following symptoms:

disinterest
fatigue
feelings of sadness and/or worthlessness
hopelessness
insomnia or excessive sleeping
irritability
lack of focus
low or absent sex drive
uncontrollable crying
unintentional, dramatic weight gain or loss

Because Chantix may also cause patients to develop suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors, it's vital that they seek immediate medical attention as soon as any depression symptoms develop.

What to Do Following a Chantix-Related Depression Diagnosis

Chantix users diagnosed with depression will likely need take anti-depressant medication, attend therapy and find an alternative smoking cessation method.

Once affected individuals have stabilized their health, they should meet with a personal injury lawyer who specializes in Chantix cases, as many will be entitled to monetary compensation for their suffering and treatment costs.

During a free consultation, experienced professionals will:

determine whether you have legal claim
give you legal advice on how to pursue your case
tell you about similar cases and associated settlements

Keep in mind that most Chantix lawyers will work on contingency, meaning they won't charge clients for legal services until or unless their case is won.

Have you or a loved one been harmed by Chantix? If so, contact us today to speak to an experienced lawyer who can help you build your case and win a deserved Chantix settlement.
