How many hours apart do you take Champix?
Hi i am starting my night time tablet tonight ..... how many hours apart do you take it .... I slept in late this morning and took the morning tablet late ..... but i do not ant to leave it too late to take night tab as I am getting nausea ? any tips ?
Hi converse, thanks for your kind words for my journey.
I dont think it matters too much, as long as you definately have it with food, otherwise you'll be extremely nauseated.
Take care, all the best.
Ps. You sound like me when i started on the champix. A million thoughts, questions, doubts....Pleeeease i know its easy for me to say but just try and relax, just day by day. Honestly the champix will let your body know when the time is right. It really does work. Never in a thousand years would i have thought that i could not have my morning ciggy /s and a coffee. Now i dont have either! Just relax, go with it, you can do it. Keep us updated. Cheers.
Hi Converse...its recommended that you leave no less than 8hrs between tablets....and thats what Ive followed...like you I cant wait to be off them but they work so for the sake of a few months and a few side effects I can cope with I will carry on...3 months of champix compare to the damage done by carrying on smoking...no brainer eh ??
Yes good point ...what are your side effects? did you cut back on dose or anything?
I take my first one at 6 am and start feeling like smoking mid afternoon do you think it would be okay to take the second one mid afternoon?
I find the one with my evening meal affects my sleeping
I've been taking the night time tablets during the day, because I'm lazy.. And the nausea is unbearable. Today I switched back to the daytime tablets and nausea is totally mild. I'm sure the night tablets are different, and the difference may be the cause of nightmares in most users. Upset stomach + sleep = nightmares. Went looking for proof and found this site, so posting FYI. Champix works a charm tho..
When you say take it with your evening meal do you mean your dinner? I've been having the nausea and can't seem to sleep because I've been taking the night time one just before bed.
I have my breakfast around 8am, lunch at around 1PM and dinner at around 5PM? Should I be taking it after my dinner?
Please help!
I took it with evening meal. I normally would eat half of my dinner, stop and then take the tablet, then eat the rest of my dinner. It is the only thing that helped the nausea. I would do the same at breakfast. Nightmares are part of it and sometimes you get them without taking Champix. It is part of withdrawal process. I will never smoke again. I took them 6 and a half years ago and have not looked back. I have no desire to smoke, it is compromising your life, your breath. To breathe. Breathing deeply in oxygen helps calm the nervous system and body, with no smoke you will be giving yourself that power back. Iv now am part of a Crossfit community and I also part of a running community and yoga, embracing health, I feel more in control of life stresses now from doing these things than any cigarette ever did, in fact it made me more anxious smoking. Keep looking forward , keep fighting for your health.
Good luck !!!
