Micardis (telmisartan) : Micardis (telmisartan) and Norvasc (amlodipine) are medications used to reduce blood pressure. It would be unusual for them to cause seizures. Both medications can cause dizziness and fainting, and fainting (or syncope) is sometimes associated with convulsion ("convulsive syncope").
