I took Chantix when it was new. I had 2 episodes where I suddenly had the urge to 1 crash into a tree driving home and 2 I was in the shower and suddenly thought I need to jump out my window. I called my doctor and told him I was stopping the medication immediately. I didn’t know enough to report it as a side effect. It stayed on the market for years until it was finally pulled.

I’m glad I knew the thoughts were not my own & must be related to the medication. What good is quitting smoking if you’re dead by suicide?!

I had the same reaction to Chantix. It was after taking it for too long. Doctor just kept prescribing it. I didn’t know I wasn’t aware it was supposed to be a short term med. Doctors don’t know what pharmacists know. I am on a drug similar to Wygovy (compounded). Not experiencing side effects in the 2+ months I’ve been using. It enables me to make better choices. No cravings. The Ozempic has been on the market for diabetes for about 10 years. I would definitely discontinue if I had those scary thoughts and impulses I experienced with Chantix. Scary stuff.

Glad you found something safer! Keep making those better choices!

Your dopamine levels are lower on Chantix than when smoking. Lower dopamine increases suicidality. Smoking masks the irritable impulsivity of the smoker. When smokers stop smoking the irritable impulsivity is no longer masked. That's why it seems to the smoker as if smoking is addictive.

I took Chantix 4-5 months. I'm the only one I know of who never had side effects. After I began taking it, I heard of horrific dreams/feelings/impulses others had. No idea why I was spared those experiences, but I thank God I didn't & was able to quit smoking as well. Then of course a couple of years later PFIZER admitted Chantix contained carcinogens. I guess I merely traded one cancer risk for another.

Well, what do people expect? The Malone, Weissman, Kariko et al. mRNA technology based fraud shots make people fat. LawyerLisa did a stack on it the other day. Great news if you have an anorexic daughter, some may think, but obviously the jabs are going to turn many to Ozempic and then when they get the Ozempic side effects on top of the Malone, Weissman and Kariko et al. mRNA based technology fraud shot side effects some people are going to want to top themselves, especially given when they wake up every morning they're confronted with the reality that they're living under Biden.

A friend, in her sixties, who should know better... Necrotic gall bladder and pancreatitis. Almost died. She says mRNA is poison and pharma is corrupt, yet takes the weight loss shots??? I don't get her reasoning. And she swears it wasn't the Ozempic that did her in! Yeah, right! On the list of side effects is pancreatitis. 😵‍💫

Omg! Why isn’t it off the market by now. Right here is enough information to do so.

I have a nephew on it.

Some of these younger people have been so traumatized by lockdowns and shots that I don’t think they care much about themselves.

Is this the drug that gives pancreatic cancer in 5 years?

Take this off the market.

In the 1980s when SSRIs were put on the market suicides and even homicides went up. Were they taken off market. No.

The kids that killed at Columbine were on SSRIs.

WTF?????!!!!!!

In fact I think it’s part of the plot to get rid of guns. Put kids on meds, let them kill and then say it’s the gun’s fault.

Have had the same thought, but only recently realized the part played by drugs. Nice--enroll Pharma in the anti-2A plan, they help it along while making money at the same time.

duh, ozempic side effects...'Common (1% to 10%): Constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, gastritis, flatulence, abdominal discomfort' drugs.com ...Even this ol'mechanic is privy to the brain-gut axis, which btw, has been known for 5k years in TCM&Ayurveda, so these death wishes come as no big surprise...'The gut brain axis is the collective term for all the channels of direct and indirect communication now known to exist between the brain and the intestinal tract, providing a pathway for thoughts and feelings to influence the operations of the intestinal system and for the state of the viscera to affect all the ways the brain works. Over the past few decades, researchers have discovered [sic] that the brain and the gut communicate in many more ways than once thought and they talk about many things, from hunger to happiness to how much power your brain cells need to generate your thoughts...'

Wow!!! Thanks for posting this up. I put in an inquiry with my PCP re Ozempic as a weight loss possibility but she has yet to reply after two weeks. After reading this post, If she ever bothers to reply, I think I’ll go full Emily Litella of the old SNL with a loud “NEVER MIND”

When will people wake up and understand that the Big Harma Petrochemicals waste products don’t cure chit! What’s does cure is real one ingredient organic foods, clean pure water, sunshine, and excerise. Get away for the seed oils, fast foods, sports and energy drinks. Eat and drink the way nature intended.

As Hippocrates said, Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food!

Think about it since when has any harmacuiticles cured anything? Hmmmm like never!

The answers are simple and easy, but the brainwashed pill poppers just cannot comprehend good old common sense these days.

I wonder if there could be an association of the diet shot and those who received the vaxx? I didn’t do any jabs. And yes, it’s crazy to reject the jabs vehemently and then take the diet shot. However, I had uncontrollable blood pressure and kidney issues. The weight has to go and I was at the end of my rope. As Jeff Childers says..don’t cancel me!

Mary you make no sense. Why not start eating right, drinking pure clean water, get some sun, and excerise. Sure it will be slow going, but the healthy rewards a very much worth it.

There’s no free lunch Mary, and for your instant gratification you Will pay the price.

I’m sorry, I just don’t understand people like you.

And believe it or not your are canceling yourself with Big Harma POISON. Nothing like being skinny and dead, lol 😂.

Nanc, mocking Mary helps her how? Your apathy is callus. Numerous physical reasons cause weight gain, and numerous physical reasons prevent weight loss. Many people exercise daily & eat well but will never lose weight due to other factors. Spewing the obvious helps her none. Your hollow "diet & exercise" is ignorant. How do you know she's not in a wheelchair or has arthritis or is on oxygen or anything else which may hinder exercise? Maybe she depends on others for meals? Some people at high risk of heart attack or stroke are desperate enough to elect gastric bypass surgery for quick weight loss. Would that be healthier for her than taking drugs? You know nothing about obesity, and your comments are insincere and cruel.

I have not been perfectly healthy over my life, but overall done pretty well. I attribute it more to a lifelong aversion to using pharmaceutical drugs than any other one thing.

Does anyone have an answer as to why suicidal (and homicidal, in the case of SSRI's) thoughts would be provoked by some of these drugs? Thanks for this information Dr. Alexander.

I believe it has to do with the neurons and synapses in your brain misfiring- I have always believed this. That’s why coming off them had to be carefully done and tapered off. If you abruptly stop these dangerous drugs- your brain goes haywire in many people.

Wow, Ernie, I'm just "baffled"..

Totally "baffled"......! Can't imagine why...... But I do know this, because PIGFARMA said so!!!!!

"SAFE AND EFFICACIOUS!

"CORRELATION DOESN'T MEAN CAUSATION!"

I was seeking what the specific causative element(s) might be for these reactions, clearly they are occurring with disturbing frequency. Regardless of the answer if there is a satisfactory one, none of this crap for me.

Expand full comment

I think you've been on the right track to assiduously avoid PigFarma's offerings.

Are any longitudinal or short term clinical studies done by INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS before multitudinous meds each year are rammed through the pipeline and onto the marketplace? Probably not. But it's speculative, all of it.

I'M not taking it, regardless.

I was given Prozac for depression when I was caring for my disabled baby. I desperately needed sleep even though my husband and I took turns listening for her IV pump alarm at night. I only took 2 or 3 doses because I was despondent. Crappy thing to give someone who is desperate for sleep!!!!

Callus you say? Hmmm know nothing about obesity? And you know all of this how?

Maybe I’m in a wheelchair , maybe I weigh 500 lbs, maybe I do know a thing or two about diet, excerise and nutrition. Maybe I know a thing or two regarding the death and destruction of Big Harma drugs. Maybe I have zero patience for stupidity? Your pretty fast to kick my ass but have zero facts. Mocking Mary, no I’m calling her out for her stupidity and contradictory comment.

So, she was smart enough to understand the vax kills, yet goes for another drug that does the same? Those are the kind of things best kept to yourself, I’m my humble opinion.

Get off your high horse, it is you who are the problem today, the quick to judge. Oh, it’s not your fault kind of people, who wouldn’t know responsibility it it bit them in the ass!

What was Mary expecting with the asinine comment? Seriously?

If your fat do something about it, yet the first step is to find out where the problem starts, not jump on the first Big Harma pill and expect a miracle, because it’s not going to happen.

People like yourself and Mary need a kick in the ass and one hell of a big dose of reality!

I’m not callus, I call a spade a spade, and really don’t give a shit what people like you think.

I’m sick of the bullshit going on today, it’s not your fault….. really now?

Go back to your liberal snowflake, puppy and crayon life and step off…..

Is Ozempic in the same classification as Reglan for Type 2 Diabetes? Is Ozempic given to Type 2 Diabetics?

People genuflecting and bowing before the idol we have made of the Medical/pharmaceutical Cartel eventually get symbiotically trauma bonded to it.

So the last thing they want is to become well and independent from daily communion with It in the form of meds that the idol repeated tells them they literally must take in order to live at all.

If they do not break free by repenting and turning Back to God Their Creator and Sustainer as their source of life here and Eternally, they will be taken down

My husband has been on ozempic for a year. Although he doesn’t have depression or suicidal thoughts from it, it does not stop his cravings. I want him to go back on trulicity or victoza that worked better for him.

Meds are not the solution. To believe that they are is a Medical/pharmaceutical Cartel lie that they want everyone to go along with. Because this is how they make their profits.
