Geesh, first acetaminophen, now this. FDA warning on anti-smoking drugs.. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 1, 18:48 19
- The GSK anit-smoking drug is just an anti-depressant (Wellbutrin) under a different name (Zyban)? -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 18:52 18
  - Yeah, same product. -- nm - Tim Jul 1, 18:53 14
    - I had no idea. I figured the drug was some sort of low-dose nicotine replacement or something - ty97 Jul 1, 18:54 13
      - Basically, people taking it for depression noticed that their nicotine cravings went away. Surprise side effect. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:56 12
        
        Not the first drug where that's happened. - Tim Jul 1, 18:59 5

        There is a drug called Revatio that is the same thing as Viagra and indicated for pulmonary hypertension. - Tim Jul 1, 19:07
        
        I can sorta see this one -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 19:00
        
        I was hoping you'd pop up here. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:59 1

        odd, but fair enough - ty97 Jul 1, 18:57 5
        
        Actually it makes a lot of sense, chemically. Nicotine affects the same neurotransmitters as Wellbutrin. - loosilu Jul 1, 18:59
        
        oh, they were thrilled. Not sure how they found Chantix. might be similar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:58 3
        
        Chantix is a new compound, not related to anti-depressants. -- nm - Tim Jul 1, 19:00 2
        
        was it developed specifically for this purpose? -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 19:00 1
        
        Looks like they were mucking around with a product used only in europe for smoking cessation and Chantix was derived from it. -- nm - Tim Jul 1, 19:02
  - yeah, it's known to cause seizures. I haven't looked at the warning yet. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:53 2
    - the warning is increased risk of suicide, which is common (I think) with anti-depressants, at the early stages as they build up. -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 18:54 1
      - oh, I see. I never know what to think of tthat effect, since the drugs are given to people who may already be suicidal. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:55

  - I think its more of a timing thing - eag Jul 1, 18:06 3
    - Maybe just more recognizable names, but it's an irrelevancy. They aren't dying because they are well known. -- nm - TWuG Jul 1, 18:07 2
      - Jackson is the only reason people started paying this much attention, I think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:41 1
