Alcohol and Chantix

Whenever taking a prescription drug, there are some universal guidelines that doctors may ask you to follow. For example, there may be certain timing specifications for when you should take the drug, such as before or after meals, or right before bed. One warning that seems to be given with any prescription is to not mix alcohol and medications. Because taking medicines and drinking alcohol both involve ingesting chemicals, combining the two could have unpredictable effects on the patient's physical and mental state.

There have not yet been any scientific studies completed that investigate the relationship between Chantix and alcohol. However, some Chantix users and their loved ones have reported disturbing reactions when mixing the two together. Some people have reported a sudden reaction that involves violent and unpredictable behavior, suicidal behavior or attempts, and psychotic episodes. Some patients who experience these dramatic changes report not remembering the episode the next day. It appears that at least some individuals have a strong negative reaction to combining Chantix and alcohol that can be disastrous.

While there is no definitive evidence yet available linking Chantix and alcohol use to increased violence, it may be best to avoid drinking alcohol altogether while on Chantix. Sadly, some people have experienced these serious symptoms from Chantix even without drinking alcohol. The ingredients in this anti-smoking drug seem to induce severe physical and mental side-effects in some people, which could result in injury or even death.
