I've been taking champix medication to quit smoking for nearly 2 months now?
And since about 2 weeks ago I feel as though I've plummeted into severe depression I always was very positive and helping others. Now I feel close to suicide. Is this the champix making me feel this way ?
Answers:
Champix can have some psychological side effects. It can have an effect on your mood. As it works on receptors in your brain, it can affect the balance of your neurotransmitters- which can cause a change in mood- such as the depressive feelings your getting.
I suggest that you see your doctor ASAP. Especially if there is any history of mental disease or depression in your family or yourself. If there is no other stressor or problem in your life that may make you feel depressed, then it could very likely be the champix. Best to see your doctor immediately.
