Can chantix cause you to fail a drug test?
Just about anything you put in your body is detectable therefore the question is not whether it is detectable, but rather whether it will be tested for. Chantix is an FDA approved (meaning its 100% legal) medication so there is no need for anybody to screen for it. Drug screening tests generally look for opiates, cocaine, marijuana and amphetamines though more specific tests can be found. Because Chantix does not fall into any of these categories, one need not worry about Chantix showing any "false positives" on the test. Lockheed Martin switched to a no smoking policy offering free Chantix prescriptions to those that felt inclined to keep their job; Lockheed Martin also runs extensive drug screening...

the safety of mixing these two drugs has not been evaluated. The discussion with regard to drug interactions not occurring probably only refers to the blood levels and elimination rates.

Does chantix help with anxiety?
The claims are that one in five people who use this drug are still not smoking a year later. There are a number of side affects that mean a number of people do not tolerate the drug very well and therefore stop taking it. Stopping smoking still requires effort as the drug helps with reducing the desire to smoke and also removes the pleasure when you do smoke thus making it easier to stop completely. Nevertheless psychological "pangs" still occur and need to be resisted and routines that generate these "pangs" need to be changed. Exactly how effective Chantix outside Clinical trials remains controversial. Attendance at anti-smoking classes/support group increase the chances of becoming a non-smoker irrespective of the method chosen.
