I started using chantix three weeks ago. After I began the two pills a day I started experiencing nightmares, insomnia, vertigo and just a general sense of feeling "out of it". My left arm and hand starting feeling numb and tingly. It was difficult to focus and I realized the only thing I had changed was taking the chantix. I stopped the chantix but the numbness and tingling moved down my left side and into my leg. I went to the doctor last Friday, was rushed to the hospital and after extensive MRIs, MRAs and heart tests, it was discovered I had experienced two strokes on the right side of my brain. I was in the hospital until this week. I am so glad you went to the doctor when you first noticed unusual symptoms. I still have the symptoms but the neurologist seems to believe they will eventually go away.
