Detailed Description

This study will measure mood effects and rapid anti-craving effects of varenicline in psychiatric inpatients. Patients will be offered to participate in the trial if they wish to stop smoking or wish to decrease nicotine cravings while in the hospital. They will not be able to use nicotine replacement products when taking varenicline.

Patients will be assessed with the QIDS-SR16, Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale as well as the Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects (FISER) at baseline and daily during the trial; patients will be asked to enroll for the duration of their hospitalization. Patients will be assessed as to whether they wish to continue varenicline post-discharge.
