I took chantix on 2 different occasions and both time I had a seizure.  I went to the neurologist and had all of the tests and they said that it can cause seizres on rare occasions.

Haven't heard about siezures but I had horrible side affects! When I took it they didn't have any warnings about mental health side affects. It sent me off the deep end! Keep in touch w/ your Dr when your on that stuff its powerful. Good luck w/ your quit!!

We are not medical doctors so if you want to know about the side effects then you should call them (chantix) directly at 1-877-CHANTIX. Also, there is something that comes with the prescription that tells you about the risks. You had better read up on it.

Sorry to hear that you are having seizures. I took chantix with very little side effects.
Good luck with everything and if you need support with your quit, then we are here for you.
