Over 800 Complaints About Chantix In Canada, Including Suicide

Here's a report from the CBC's website on what's going on with Chantix, Pfizer's much-advertised stop-smoking drug, in Canada. Known as Champix up north, the drug has generated over 800 complaints to health authorities in Canada. Most of the complaints mirror those in the US and UK: suicide, depression, personality changes, suicidality, etc. What a lovely drug Pfizer has given the world.

One of these days I imagine I'll quit smoking, but when and if the time comes, I'll steer wide of this drug, which is clearly as nasty as Paxil. I've written oodles about Chantix before. Those posts are here.
