Chantix Suicidal Thoughts

Also known under the brand names Champix and Varenicline, Chantix is a Pfizer-made pill that helps people quit smoking by blocking the effects of nicotine on the brain. However, despite its popular reception and initial success, Chantix is also now known to cause depression and increase the incidence of suicidal thoughts in some patients.

Those with the highest risk of experiencing suicidal thoughts and acting out suicidal behaviors include people who have, at some time in their lives, previously suffered from:

drug and/or alcohol addictions
panic disorders
psychiatric disorders, particularly depression, mania and bipolar disorder

To date, 491 patients have filed claims with the FDA, stating that they have endured and/or enacted suicidal thoughts after taking Chantix.

Precursors of Suicidal Thoughts

Whether or not a Chantix user has or admits to having suicidal thoughts, he may display some general indications that he is depressed or is thinking about hurting himself.

Some precursors to or indications of Chantix users' suicidal thoughts can include:

carelessness in appearance and/or actions
displays of self-hatred (which can include self-loathing speech)
insomnia or constant sleeping (people experiencing depression will typically sleep excessively or not at all)
refusing or forgetting to eat
talking about death and/or means of dying
withdrawal from friends and family

You may be negatively affected by Chantix if you feel:

despaired
desperate
hopeless
trapped
overwhelmed
pessimistic
like you have nothing to look forward to
mildly to intensely sad
sudden changes in your personality

Any combination of the above feelings can indicate that you are developing depression and may be on the road to experiencing suicidal thoughts. If you start to notice that you are experiencing some of the above emotions after taking Chantix, be sure to consult your doctor immediately.

Chantix Lawsuits Following Suicidal Thoughts

After getting treatment and finding an alternative to Chantix, affected patients should consult an experienced personal injury attorney to evaluate whether they have a legal claim and are entitled to a Chantix settlement.

During a free consultation, Chantix lawyers can:

give you advice on how to gather evidence to support your claim
outline the legal process of winning a Chantix settlement
tell you about awards granted in cases similar to your own

To encourage you to pursue your claim, most Chantix lawyers will defer payment for their services until after you have won your case.

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
