  This is the first time I've seen anyone in here ask this question,....uh....Apparently it can and does effect your siezure condition if your meds are of a specific type, I had a severe epsiode back in december 08 and had to be put in a COMA because of the fact that I began hallucinating badly after I had just stopped tasking the chantix.  I stopped taking chantix because of the nightmares it caused me,...Nightmares I'd rather forget about,.....I think I almost re-lived me entire childhood up to age 5 in three ngihts of "non-sleep".....I tried to contact a lawyer about this after a few months had passed, you know the guys who adbertise on TV?....they are about as worthless as tears......But yes,..yes chantix can interact with some meds,....asking your doctor wont be of much help as they are part of the system that prescribes meds in the first place. ASK YOUR PHARMACIST FIRST.....good luck to you.

You forgot to mention which "seizure condtion if your meds are of a specific type". Which ones can effect it? I had taken it for 2 months & had no problems. I had been on way too much pheno. @ that time, so I wasn't too concerned. I have a months supply, but have not taken it since I'm off pheno. & a bit leary on taking more. Is there a specific type that seems to effect siezure?

Curse,

  The meds I was on at that time were:

Dilantin 300Mg at night
Darvocette 100Mg as needed
Sertraline (?) once at night (a light brown pill)
Flexeril 3-10 Mg at night
Xanax 4Mg at night
3 Mg melatonin at night
Lyrica 150 Mg at night
325 Mg aspirin each morning

I'm now off the Sertraline and Darvocette ( somehow it hasn't effected my depression, if anything it's gotten better).....I had also had some hydrocodone and percocette right before that,......all this prescribed by my doctors or the Er doctors......My doctor wont allow me to use Opiates anymore. ( Oh happy day )......I still have a pain issue that I try and ignore.........Still though, I think the Chantix was the problem at the time, after I stopped taking it?.....I was quite a bit better, still complaining but better.

Considering Chantix.  I take Trileptal 600mg 2x per day.  I have not had epilepsy all my life just started one day about 7-10yrs ago (in my30's).

Now Trileptal on occassions makes me very dizzy.  It gets to the point I get very nauseaed 'cause the room is spinning so fast.  That is only on occassion.  

So considering Chantix and want to know if anyone has used it and found it works without effecting their epilepsy or their epilepsy medication(s).
