Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Ohio

I want to know if my situation is worth me pursuing a lawsuit against pfizer(?)

In the summer of 2010 I started taking Chantix. It was making me sick so I stopped after about a month. I have suffered from what "I thought" was anxiety all my life but the symptoms got worse and worse after being off chantix. In December 2011 I finally made my first ER visit for what I thought was a heart attack but it was a panic attack. Now, I have never in all my 27 years been diagnosed with any mental illness and had been considered extremely healthy and physically fit. After that visit I made about another 15 visit to the E.R for anxiety and panic attacks. They eventually told me it was time to psychiatrist after they noted that I was suffering from severe depression and panic disorder. When I went to see the psychiatrist he told me I was suffering from manic depression,anxiety,agoraphobia and PTSD!! Now, like I said before I had a troubled past but had never had a problem until AFTER I started taking chantix. I was healthy and happy with no record of mental disorder. I am not sure if this medication started all of this or made my "un-diagnosed" symptoms worse! I believe in my heart that it was the Chantix that ruined my life! It is now 2013 and I am a paranoid freak, who can't leave the house and cry all day. I am not even sure if it is worth even pursuing... oh, and I now have to take sleep medication for insomnia/nightmares along with the other cocktail of medications.
