Felt a great responsibility to share my daughter's hellish experience while on this drug. My daughter is 33 years old. While taking Chantix she would at first laugh to herself frequently, went to anger and resentment to bizarre behavior and paranoia. She felt threatened that cameras where watching her in our home, phones were "bugged", heard demonic voices, lost her appetite, felt her life was threatened by an ex-boyfriend or the government. She became depressed and wanted to just die. She began to work part- days and went to missing days of work for she lived in complete fear. She also had panic attacks. After going off the drug for five days she virtually came back to us and is back to her pleasant and yes- smoking unconstipated self.

I started taking Chantix in August right after I had my teeth cleaned by a periodontal office which I was doing every three months. Three months later my periodontal disease which had been controlled for four years came back full force. I had just had an implant placed in July and now am in fear of losing it along with some other teeth. I have had to have new bone graphs and gigival flap cleanings trying to stop the problem. I have now been off the drug four months and things seem to be going better. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PERIODONTIST IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD PERIODONTAL DISEASE BEFORE TAKING THIS DRUG.
