Re: champix and citalopram
Hi, When I was on 40mg citalopram, my 'no smoking nurse' wouldn't prescribe champix, but did prescribe the patches and nasal spray. She said if I disagreed with her decision I should see my doc. I didn't disagree. Champix does some sort of chemical reaction to the brain in order to lessen withdrawal symptoms. Take care x

You should NEVER have been given Champix.
Good luck with stopping smoking. I'm a smoker but nicotine is really bad for anxiety.

Re: champix and citalopram
I have had a long history in anti depressants. I was on Citalopram for a while and decided I wanted to quit smoking. I tried gum, this mouth spray and patches to no success so when I went to pick up my Citalopram prescription and my gp also prescribed me champix. Didn't think nothing of it and took them as instructed. After a couple of weeks I felt my mood declining rather then improving. I lived a normal live nice gf ok living arrangement and ok money so nothing to be that upset about. But next thing I know I'm in hospital in a coma, I'm family we're told several times i won't be waking up i was going to die. I had several fits due to the mix of tablets my heart was failing i ended up with aspiration pneumonia and all cause of those tablets
