Can i use nicotine patches with having epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine: But, if you do have epilepsy, which means more than one seizure, you are at risk for others, and do not see an anti-epileptic drug on your list. Would contact your neurologist and get this reassessed. Would highly encourage your quest to quit smoking.
