Side effects of Chantix, a popular stop smoking drug, have been linked to an increased risk of suicides, suicide attempts, aggressive and unusual behavior. A number of individuals throughout the United States are pursuing product liability lawsuits for suicides and other problems from Chantix.

CHANTIX LAWSUIT STATUS: All federal Chantix lawsuits have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, where the first trial dates are expected in late 2012 and early 2013. More than 2,500 cases have been brought nationwide, and at least one Chantix settlement agreement has been reached in a suicide case that was scheduled to be the first lawsuit presented to a jury.

MANUFACTURER: Pfizer, Inc.

OVERVIEW: Chantix (varenicline) is a prescription medication designed to help people quit smoking. It was approved in 2006 and has quickly become a very popular medication for people who have had a difficult time breaking their smoking addiction. By blocking the receptors commonly stimulated by nicotine, Chantix reduces the positive feelings that come from cigarettes.

Although Pfizer had high hopes that the medication would become a top selling drug for the pharmaceutical company, concerns about serious and potentially life-threatening side effects of Chantix have limited use of the medication.

Chantix users have reportedly suffered severe psychological side effects, which may increase the risk of suicide, suicide attempts or other violent behavior, as a result of the way the drug interacts with the brain. Recent studies have also suggested that some users may face an increased risk of heart attacks and other heart problems from Chantix.

CHANTIX SUICIDE PROBLEMS: Shortly after Chantix was introduced, an alarming number of reports were received by the FDA MedWatch adverse event reporting system involving users who committed suicide on Chantix or suddenly attempted suicide, despite no prior history of psychological problems.

In November 2007, the FDA issued an early communication regarding an emerging safety concern which linked the use of Chantix to reports of suicides, suicidal thoughts and sudden changes in behavior.

In February 2008, the FDA issued a statement which suggested that their evaluation indicates it is “increasingly likely that there may be an association between Chantix and serious neuropsychiatric symptoms.”

In July 2009, the FDA required Pfizer to add a prominently displayed boxed warning about the risk of behavior changes, depression, hostility and suicidal thoughts, which is the strongest warning that can be placed on a prescription medication.

CHANTIX LAWYERS: Lawsuits are being evaluated by Chantix lawyers throughout the country on behalf of users who have suffered severe physical injury or death as a result of:

  • Suicide
  • Attempted Suicide
  • Sudden Aggressive Behavior
  • Heart Attack
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease
  • Coronary Revascularization

Submit information regarding a potential Chantix lawsuit to have your case reviewed and evaluated by an attorney. If it appears that you, a friend or family member may be entitled to compensation as a result of Chantix side effects, you may be contacted by a lawyer.

I started taking Chantix in April of 2008. I quit smoking on May 11, 2008. While taking Chantix I did have the vivid dreams and lack of sleep, but no major side effects. I was smoke free for 1 year and 3 months. During this period, honestly, i have never felt better. I continued to work out at the gym and I felt great. My relationships with friends and family stayed strong, if not stronger. I slipped up in August of 2009, and as of September I started smoking again. I am ready to quit again and considering taking Chantix for the second time. Not sure if the side effects will differ the second go round. I see alot of negative comments about this drug, but it did work for me and i was a successful non-smoker for over a year and I couldn’t have felt better during that period.
Karen

I began taking Chantix before any side effects were mentioned, except nausea, which I did experience. I took Chantix from August 2007 through November 2007. I fought, and continue to fight, a constant battle to not smoke. It has been three years and those have been three very agonizing years. It began with depression, which I didn’t believe was a real medical problem, until then. Since then I have been through several different anit-depressants and sleeping medications. I have become a different person than I used to be. I was always happy, strong and took care of my own problems. I used to think that people that thought of suicide were just weak, but I have come to realize that those thoughts are something you have no control over. I have not committed suicide or tried to, but my whole life has changed since taking Chantix and it has all been documented with my doctor. Just because I am not dead or in a long care facility because of trying to commit suicide, does not mean than my life is not totally different. I want things to go back like they used to be, but I am coming to the conclusion that will never happen. I have also lost one good job and about to lose another if things don’t turn around quickly. If Chantix worked for you, I am truly glad for you, but as for me, my mental state is still in shambles after three years.

Has anyone else experienced a drop in blood pressure after taking Chantix? I am on Chantix and it is working great except one thing, roughly 15 -20 minutes after taking a dosage my blood pressure drops to the point of me almost passing out. After about another 15 minutes my blood pressure stabalizes and I go on about my day, until the night dosage, then same thing happens. Now I have low blood pressure anyways, normally 102/60. Does this happen to anyone else? The slight depression,wacked out dreams and nasea I can deal with but not the blood pressure thing anymore.
Jim
I took Chantix for 6 weeks and it seem to work well. I noticed that it made cigarettes taste bad. That helped. I quit taking the perscription and developed flu like symtoms and had a complete loss of smell. My Ear nose an throat doctor examined me and did all the tests. He said there was nothing that could be done and just to hope your sense of smell returns. Its now be a year and I have not been able to taste anything. Ive heard that others have experienced this same effect after taking Chantix. My life has been miserable and the joy of dinner out and eating has gone. Im so distressed that I would join anyone in a class lawsuit against Pfizer for not warning smokers that this effect could happen to them.
jessica
The FDA needs to research these drugs more thoroughlly, as well as doctors taking the side effcts seriously. I have siezures, and at the time I was given chantrix 2 yrs ago was on two anti-convulsants, I was having trouble finding the ‘right’ one, but knowing my history told me the chantix was completly safe? I stopped taking it after the first month, I knew something was wrongw/ it. Highly dangerous for those prone to seizures, this info was not out in jan’07- I researched chantrix just after I satarted to take it- hmm. Who do you blame? I felt that it wasn’t reacting well w/ me or my other meds- or something, thnk GOD I took myself off- always do your own research, and trust youur gut. Big comps want their money.
Kim
I’ve been on this terrible drug for 3 months. I’ve always been a cheerful, chipper person…not anymore. I lost my boyfriend of 8 years becasue of the way that I have been. I have never been one to even concider suicide, but I had it all planned out. I was giving away everything I owned, even signed the title of my car over to my son. My friends finally had an “intervention” with me to try to make me see what I was doing, because I didn’t even realize it. Not to mention that I was becoming very violent…I have never been one to want to hurt anyone. I am slowly getting myself off this awful drug. It should not be on the market. Yeah, the drug does work, you stop smoking, only because your DEAD from taking your own life. I definately want to be in the lawsuit!
Sandra
My husband started taking Chantix at the end of February. By the middle of March he was mean and nasty. By April his behavior became bizarre – almost childlike, then he went into what I call the “twilight zone”. I looked at him several times and wondered if anything was left upstairs. This summer he has spent $10,000 of retirement money on vacations for him. He was on it for a total of 5 1/2 months to my knowledge. I have no idea since he lies (never was a liar before chantix) and sneaks around. If I can believe him he has been off of it for 6 weeks and still displays odd behavior. I have no choice now but to file for divorce after 20 years. I cannot live with the insanity this drug has caused. I wrote the FDA in July and told them to get this drug off the market. Terrible, terrible drug!
Joe
I started taking Chantrix in December 2008 I remained on the drug for the perscribed 3 months. I did stop smoking but I have developed anxiety, I can only sleep 3 or 4 hours and wake up with a major sense of dred and fear for no reason… I know that the cause of the anxiety is from Chantix, because I have never suffered from anxiety prior to this and have not stared any new medications except for the Chantix.
Mary
I started taking Chantix March 11th ’09 and successfully quit smoking. On May 25th, I had what I can only call a psychotic break – my thougts were paranoid and illogical. My husband researched the side effects of Chantix and suggested I stop taking the medication. I stopped taking the medication on May 26th and have been depressed ever since. I’ve been taking an anti-depressant for about a month and a half and this will hopefully get me over this ‘hump’. I hope these feelings are temporary and I’ll be feeling my normal, happy self soon. I haven’t seen any information on the duration of the psychological effects after stopping the drug. I am happy to still be smoke free, and staying vigilant so I stay that way. However, I would NOT have taken this drug had I known what toll it would take on my feelings of well being. To think it was elective ….
Sherry
Day4…….All is well…….Reduction in smoking……..positve!!! side effects none so far.
Marianne
Dear Lyn, William, and John, I have had a similar experience as you all when I took chantix. I started taking Chantix in January and initially found it helpful; however, I had a seizure while driving my car and I was severely injured and in the hospital for quite a while. Thankfully no one else was hurt. I am discussing my case with an attorney and whether Chantix caused my seizure. I would like to learn more from other people about their experience with Chantix. I’d appreciate any other comments you may have and if you have any questions or if I can be of any help, please let me know!
lyn
had 2 seizures taking this drug ruined my life lost driving licence for 12 months and just got my second ban for further 12 months take my advice dont take this drug
yvette
My husband took the chantix for 4 1/2 months, and i was fearing for my life at this point. I called the doctor and told him that he needed to be taken off of this medican as he was very aggressive, depression , angrey all the time. I read the small print on the paper and it stated that if you have had depression in the past, you should not take this medican. 5 years ago my husband had a #10 on the scale of 1-10, depression , Why did his doctor give it to him? My daughter and i suffered greatly. Now that he is off the medication he is getting back to normal. Call me if you need my statement in your lawsuit.
Jodi
Lisa, please be careful with your words. Check out THE FDA, the labeling process, how Chantix is not being dispensed that much anymore, how people REALLY DID KILL THEMSELVES from this drug – it has been proven. I am not law suit happy. I just had surgery. I have pain/suffering etc yet I am not wanting to sue my doc. Please be careful with your words. I say this in a respectful way. I am glad you did not have any bad side affects, please do not put those down that did. Do you want the documentation from the eye doc that I COULD NOT SEE? and he put it down to Chantix? So, please I ask you to be sensitive to those who might have had a problem with this drug. Again, congrats on being smoke free.
Jodi
It is essential that if you are ALREADY on anti-depressive drugs you DO not take Chantix. I did when there was no information out (NEW lable just came out 7/9) on the side affects of this drug. I not only got suidical, severe depression, loss of vision, menopause yet these symptoms lasted for almost ONE YEAR. I lost 8 lbs in one month. My doctor did NOT have access to information regarding the side affects to the drug until the second visit I had with him, thus, I had to suffer even longer. It took a long time for my doctor to find a right combination of medication as I believe Chantix changed my neuropathways (almost a year). I PRAY/HOPE/ASK that attorneys consider widening their citeria for a class action law suit (right now it is just for the family of those who killed themselves or if you actively attempted suicide) I was going to check into a hospital, looking back, I would have to be a part of this suit as my life was drastically altered for one year. This is PAIN AND SUFFERING. Be careful and read the LABLE carefully. ALL SIDE AFFECTS even those that are rare!
diane
Waited 23 years to have my first baby and when she was 3 days old I started on Chantix. I was depressed, hateful and thoughts of suicide were in my mind constantly. I could not sleep, had no appetite and did not care about my appearance or my home. My husband aslo began taking it. He had strange, vivd dreams that meant he got not sleep and felt as if he were having a heart attack. We were both lifeless. At one point he said we were being mean and hateful after we started on this drug to try to improve our health. Without the help of a friend to talk to, I believe I would have ended up dead on this pill. I felt crazy and completely hopeless and worthless the entire time. I still have bouts of depression and feel I will never recover from this nightmare called chantix.
Tanya
I started Chantix in January of this year. I am a 33 year old mother of 2 girls. Since starting the chantix I noticed a mojor increase in anxiety, I was always depressed, tired feeling sick. As a result of this I have split with my husband of 13 years who I began treating horrible, I treated alot of people horrible, and this is not a usual behavior from me as I was always a kind and big hearted person. My Doctor met me for the first time and highly recommended it to me without even giving me the chance to say no, not knowing any of my medical history or results of any of my blood work. I know that the cause of all of these actions are from this chantix, because I have never suffered any of these symptoms prior to this and have not stared any new medications except for the chantix.
Carolyn
My 42 year old son took Chantix in the spring of 2008. Had all the symptoms listed above and then some. Was hospitalized in August of 2008, terrible choking spells, bad speech – had stomack feeding tube inserted for 5 months; diagnosed with myathemia gravis. He is presently being treated at Massachusetts General Hospital for the mathemia gravis and other related causes.
Bonnie
I feel this medication isnot good for anyone
Bonnie
Itook chantix on 2 differrernt occasions,had terrible dreams,gained weight,neausia,had thoughts of sucide,yes I would be in lawe suit
mildred
I was taking this medicine for about 2months and i developed a nasty rash or some kind of skin thing and i stopped taking the chantrix., doctor said they didn’t know what it was and it has not gone away not even a little. I also have some other issues with moodiness and sleeplessness. I also have irritability and concentration issues now.
Karin
I took Chantix for 8 month before I was able to stop smoking for good. It was the best thing I have ever done in my life. NO side effects except vivid dreams. I am so happy I have that monkey of my back that I can not even imagine to ever want to smoke another cigarette. I was a heavy, 2 packs a day, smoker for 50 years. Barbara’s complains. I don’t know… But I believe a lot of people like to complain and make other people , things or circumstances responsible for their own misery. Just a victim. No need that way to take responsibility for their behavior. You see , I had carrots to eat the week before my last head cold. Can’t prove there is a connection but can’t dispute that I got my head cold AFTER eating those carrots. Besides, if there is a law suit…. I’m in.
Barbara
I took Chantix from Dec. 2006 until April of 2007. I had no side affects during that time except trouble sleeping and strange dreams. It has been in the last two years that I have experienced mood swings, fatigue, depression, unprovoked fits of rage and sleeplessness. I have days I can hardly function. I did quit smoking for a period of approximately 6 months but then the desire returned as strong as before. What I go through now on a daily basis was not worth that 6 months of not smoking. I would give a lot to have never tried Chantix and feel like I have this last two year.
Lisa
I started taking Chantix in Feb. and stopped taking it in April. It worked great. I noticed some irritability but attributed that to withdrawals. But now, I feel more depressed even though I stopped taking it 2 months ago. I feel so glum I might consider seeing my dr for a anti-depressive! I’ve never felt this way before. Also, I haven’t seen anyone else bring up this issue but I’ve been having problems going to the bathroom. This began 4 weeks after I started Chantix. I’m not in pain or constipated; but I just dont go. I have to remember to take a laxative every 4-5 days. I thought it would stop over time but this is crazy. If anyone else has these issues, please post. I really wanted to quit, but this makes me wish I never had!
Sue
I have been on Chantix for 2 1/2 weeks. I have ringing in my ears that started on day 3. Will it go away once I stop taking Chantix? I hope so. It’s annoying. Otherwise Chantix is working .
Sue
I have been on Chantix for 3 weeks. I have some nausea and some vivid dreams. In the beginning I was tired and a little anxious. On day 3 of taking Chantix I started having ringing in my ears. Will this stop? I hope so. I can tolerate it if it helps me stop smoking.
david
I just quit taking Chantix last week, I had all the minor side effects that most everyione else has. No stroke or suicide attempts though. I would consider what I went through would be normal for something that makes me quit a habit I’ve been doing for 15 years. The only thing I didn’t expect was my face to break out so bad that I think I’ll have scars! My teenage years are far behind me, so this was not a normal thing for me at all. Anyone else have a facial skin reaction like such???
Debbie
I started taking Chantix in Feb. ’09. I got the gas, nausea, stomach pains and strange dreams. I completed 2 weeks and still had no desire to quit smoking and had a constant pain/ache in my left eye. I was also irritable and anxious. My doctor said it could take months to take effect and to keep on taking it. The day I tried to quit I nearly lost my mind. I have sinced stopped taking it. The patch seems a lot calmer and more effective way for me. I still sometimes get the pain behind my left eye.
Linda C
I took Chantix about 18 months ago, I was only able to take it for 30 days I had become very nauseated, vomited weak and dizzy. I had called my health care provider and was instructed to give the medication some time and I would feel better. In January 09 I suffered my first Grand mal seizure. In March 09 I had my second seizure. All tests are negative (CT,EEG). I have since lost my drivers license, which is not a bad idea considering. I am a nurse without income now. Since starting Keppra I now think I have figured out my aura prior to seizures by process of elimination. Severe nausea, dizziness I often associated to Motion sickness when I was in a vehicle either as a driver or passenger. Had I known Chantix would do this I would have remained a smoker or found another way….
Regina G
I was on Chantix for a little less than one month. I had gas, nausea, slight depression, was tired all of the time and irritable. Then I was arresteed for trespassing. I was completely aggitated and argueing with a police officer. I am 44 years old, never been in trouble and certainly have always respected law enforcement. I was out of my mind. It was humiliating and the most awful experience of my life. I would never recommend this drug. I know many that have used it successfully, but my experience has scared me from ever taking any medication that is not needed to save my life. If I am lucky, this arrest will not ruin my career.
Judy G
Started Chantix in July 2008 after a few weeks I started to become short of breath did not have enough air to finish what I was saying. Ended up in the ER MRI of the chest were clear, given in halers and breathing treatments but nothing helped. Sent for MRI of my brain 2 x MRI of my spine, thyroid biopsy, ultra sounds of my neck, swallowing and voice tests.. Sent to a pulmonologist who sent me to a endocrinologist who sent me to an ENT x 4 different doctors who sent me to a neurologist who thought I had MS so he sent me to a MS specialist who does not think it is MS but maybe myasthenia gravis, bulbar palsey, brisk jaw jerk. I currently am still short of breath, experience nasal escape, slurring when I speak, my voice is raspy, can not yell, blow out a candle, have dificulty swallowing, choke often. If I get emotional laughing, crying or angry I have neck pain. My throat will constrict and I can not speak until I relax. I had none of these issues prior to using Chantix and was in good health. There is still no diagnosis for my problem still seeing many doctors. All the above mentioned problems are the negative side effects of Chantix that are rare. Almost 8 months later and more money than you can imagine for the cost of my appointments, treatments, tests, and medications that do not work.
John
I am looking for Chantix users that have been affected with Malignant Hypertension as I believe I have been. I used Chantix for only 2 weeks and weaned off. I quit smoking for a year but started smoking again. Bad move I know. I was on minimal blood pressure meds prior to taking Chantix. For eleven smoke free months I developed Malignant hypertension and require 12 pills a day spread over 8 hours of four different types. Prior to that I was on a single pill each day. I feel lucky to not have had mental problems. Having weird dreams scared me to start weaning off. I had heard in a blog this was the only thing that helped in some cases. In all fairness, I did gain some 20 lbs over a years time but am now back to a normal weight and smoking again. I don’t think I will ever get my blood pressure controlled again. Best luck to you, John
William
I have taken chantix twice in the last 6 months, the first time I took it for about a month, I had dizzy spells, I ask my doctor about it and he said the dizzy spills were due to nicotine withdrawl, I started smoking again and quit chantix. The second time I started taking chantix, I was on it for about two weeks, I had a seizure while driving my vehicle and did some real damage to my truck, I was in the hospital for two and half days, while in the hospital I was tested for stroke (MRI) and for any other brain damage, (EEG), and heart problems (EKG), all tests were negitve, there were no problems found, the neurologist said that it was quite possible that chantix was the problem, right now I’m not driving for a month to make sure that I don’t have another seizure, I have thrown the rest of the chantix away, and have had no other dizzy spells, just a lot of pain from being in the wreck.
Melody
I have been on Chantix for 2 months I have a constant ringing in my ears like a high pitch dog whistle. It wont go away. I also have high blood pressure now.
Carly
I have always been careful of prescription drugs, usually opting to manage without antibiotics, pain medication, etc., whan at all possible. I discussed Chantix with my physician and decided to try it. I took it for 45 days (approx.April-July 2007). I did not smoke, dealt with the minor nausea and bit of gassiness that was a mentioned side-affect. What took me 3-4 weeks to notice was the growing sense of irritability and depressed feelings. Worst of all was a complete loss of my sense of smell and taste. I would constantly be in tears from frustration and anger. My sense of taste and smell has always been an accute asset for me. I also began hearing a loud ringing in my ears that sounded like a high-pitched hum. I stopped the Chantix on the 45th day and told my doctor. I threw out the rest of the prescription. I had 90 days worth. After 3 months I regained enough of my sense of taste and smell to allow me to eat meals with some normalcy. I had fluctuated between eating until I felt full, which was not satisfying, to just not wanting to eat at all. The ringing in my ears has only become worse. The mixture of depression,irritability and lethargy cost me the best job I’ve ever had. I’m simply no longer the same person. I have always been a strong and upbeat person. I warned friends about taking Chantix. Until now, I was unaware that there were others who were even more strongly and adversely affected than I. It helps to know that what I was going through wasn’t a delusion. It has been difficult enough as it was. Losing your will and motivation to be functional is pretty debilitating. This drug needs to be taken off the market. Rather than attempts to price smokers out of the habit or brow-beating them into extinction, why not let the tobacco companies fund cessation programs that have proven effectiveness without the risk. The FDA needs to think more of the patient and less for the pill-pushing drug lords. I cringe when I see the thousands of televised drug ads. It seems they have far more contraindications than benefits. We need pharmaceuticals that do more good than harm, otherwise, the only benefit goes to the seller.

Please share this information on this page. I chewed tobacco for a number of years and I told my DR I wanted to quit. He rx’d me Chantix and within one week I was unsucessful at trying to hang myself in the garage. I was depressed and was in a frantic state of mind. I stopped Chantix and recovered in a couple of days drinking alot of water and cranberry juice. I have never had suicidal thoughts before. If there is a class action, count me me.

I am a 39 year old woman that was put in the hospital. I have a diagnose of Multiple Sclerosis. The doctor wanted me to to quit smoking so he put me on this Chantix. I was on Chantix for over 2 weeks and my whole side of my right head and face went completely numb. I went back to my doctor and he took me off of this, however, i had to go to a nureology appointment and had to be put back on steroids because it pushed me into an excerbation. I did research on this drug and one of the sideeffects was it could cause people to have Multiple Sclerosis. I am sooo mad.
