Chantix Caused Depression, Lawsuit Claims
By Matt O’Donnell
A former Chantix user has decided to sue Pfizer for failing to warn her that using the anti-smoking drug would put her at risk for developing serious psychiatric side effects, including depression. Her Chantix lawsuit joins hundreds others pending in multidistrict litigation alleging similar Chantix side effects. Plaintiff Sallie Lynne Casey alleges in the Chantix lawsuit that she started taking the medication in July 2009 and subsequently experienced serious neuropsychiatric issues, including depression, aggression, anger and suicidal thoughts. She is suing Pfizer to cover the medical bills and other costs she incurred to treat the mental health-related Chantix side effects she experienced. Her lawsuit charges the drug maker with negligence, strict product liability, breach of implied and express warranty, and more.

I;m looking to join lawsuit against the drug chantix
Use ese medicamento y posteriormente me diagnosticaron depresión mayor con rasgos psicoticos
I took this medication and the only adverse effect I experienced was bad dreams. It’s been 4 years and I haven’t touched a cigarette since. It was a successful treatment for me. I’m sorry you all had bad experiences….but let’s be real…. Withdrawal from any addiction fluctuates your mental health.
I had major depression, night terrors and attempted suicide. I lost everything! My career marriage and home. There are records at a center for treatment.
Completely bad dreams, ruins relationships, haunting images.
I used Chantix years ago to stop smoking and I tried very hard to stop. After weeks of laying on my couch feeling so sick that I could hardly get off of my couch, that was enough for me. I knew by then something was very wrong with this medication, nobody should feel this terrible and sick. It was worse than any flu I have ever had. I literally could not function.
My husband has a bunch of this stuff right now. Add me.
