I am only on day 5, but the first couple of days my right leg appeared to be suffering from restless leg syndrome. Haven't had any issues since day 3 but if it happens again I will be calling the doctor.

No, this isn't listed under any of the known side effects for Chantix.

Learn more Chantix details here.

Although it has been reported by many people that have been taking it.

Have you consulted your doctor about it?

If you are having muscle twitches or spasms, this could be a symptom of serotonin syndrome, which can happen with Chantix. It's not common, but the risk is increased if you take other medications that increase serotonin like medications for depression or migraines. If you are having other symptoms, like nausea, GI upset, headache, fever...you should definitely call the doctor.
