Default Anti-depressents And Chantix

Is anyone oput there taking chantix and anti-depressents? My doctor said it was o.k., but I have read some stories that have scared me. I am taking trileptal, abilify, lamactil anf fluoxamine. Any knowledge would be great.

well what have you read. there are some independent reports that chantix causes suicidal ideation but it has not been proven, its mostly bad press.

the problem is that chantix works in the brain along with all those other medications and the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain is very delicate. so if you have a lot going on up there, potential interactions do exist. they are most likely theoretical. i would give them a try.

my drug references list no drug - drug interactions
