But does it lead to anal seepage, increased risk of suicide, and all the other benefits of today's newest wonder drugs?

Probably. Those characteristics (especially the "thoughts of suicide") seem to define what are mischaracterized as anti-depressants.

But look at the bright side, at least the corporate designer drug dealers were making money off of pushing their drugs on people who had no legitimate use for those drugs, and got a pat on the back from the FDA to do it!

Chantix seems to work well. It is designed to block the uptake of nicotine in the brain, not to relieve anxiety or treat some secondary symptom. ( and no, I don't work for a drug company, it got me and three of my friends to stop )
