Has anyone experienced suicidal ideation and assault while taking Chantix/Champix ## It is known to cause these problems with some people that take it, thought it is very rare. It is an antidepressant, the active ingredient is Varenicline and most of them are known to cause the opposite of their intended effects in a very small number of people that use them. In the U.S. it carries a black box warning about it on the medication sheet. Is there anything else I can help with?

The NIH warns that combining them could result in someone developing a dangerous condition known as Serotonin Syndrome, which can has the potential to be fatal. Have either of you consulted your doctors?

Has anyone ever experienced a problem mixing avelox and champex together ## Hi Paul, There is no known interactions between these drugs, but that does not mean that there are not any, only that it may just never have been tested, or that there are not enough studies to determine whether or not there is an interaction. However, just taking Avelox with or without any other drugs can lead to a whole host of problems that you can learn about by going to the Avelox Side Effects page. The multitude of reports of severe and even disabling side effects may encourage you to ask your doctor if there are any alternate drugs that you can substitute for the Avelox. These drugs are dangerous drugs that should only be reserved for life threatening infections.

Hi there. I am currently on an antidepressant called Cymgen. I am a smoker and am wanting to quit. There is a new drug out called Champix (Varenicline) and it is a 12 week program to help smokers quit. I would just like to know if it is safe to take this drug while using a seritonin/adrenaline uptake. Tami ## I haven't found any interactions listed, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. There are some cases where they don't like to prescribe both together, depending on other health issues and other medications you may be on. So, your doctor may prefer that you stop one, or they may want to adjust your dosage. Are there any other questions or comments?
