Q: can nicotine withdrawl cause suicidal ideation?

i took chantix for about 4 months, went off, then back about 2 months later for about 6 weeks.  i never smoked after or even during the period i was on it and only went back because urges popped up.  but i don't think i could have quit without it.  are the risks greater than those associated with ssri medications? i've encouraged so many people to try it and i'm so disappointed.
