Does Chantix interact with Paxil CR or Atenolol?

There is no drug interaction between Chantix and Paxil CR or between Chantix and Atenolol so it is safe to take Chantix with either of these two medicines.

However there is a minor interaction between Paxil CR and Atenolol.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use Paxil if you are allergic to paroxetine, or if:

- you are also taking pimozide or thioridazine; or

- you are being treated with methylene blue injection.

Do not use an MAO inhibitor within 14 days before or after you take Paxil. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine. After you stop taking Paxil you must wait at least 14 days before you start taking an MAO inhibitor.

To make sure Paxil is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

- heart disease, high blood pressure, history of stroke;

- liver or kidney disease;

- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;

- seizures or epilepsy;

- bipolar disorder (manic depression), or a history of drug abuse or suicidal thoughts;

- narrow-angle glaucoma; or

- low levels of sodium in your blood.

Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.

Taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy may cause serious lung problems or other complications in the baby. However, you may have a relapse of depression or other treated condition if you stop taking your antidepressant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Do not start or stop taking this medicine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.

Paroxetine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.

Do not give Paxil to anyone younger than 18 years old without the advice of a doctor. Paroxetine is not approved for treating depression in children.

The Chantix drug rep told me that there are NO drug-drug interactions.

Good luck with quitting smoking - keep trying until it sticks!

The side effects of Chantix differs from person to person...but I feel that if it helps to quit smoking, the side effects are better than dying from complications of smoking.

There have been reports of depression and suicides in people taking Chantrix. Enough to be of concern. If you are on Paxil for depression, it could be dangerous, in that it would bring back your depression, big time.
