Varenicline (trade name Chantix) has been linked to an increased risk of depression and suicidal behaviors. Bupropion (trade name Zyban) can also have some side effects, but they are usually less severe than those associated with varenicline. Benzodiazepine (trade name Xanax) is not used for smoking cessation treatment, and disulfiram (trade name Antabuse) is used for alcohol dependence.
