I have been taking Champix for about 3 weeks now. The starter pack definitely seemed to start working fast. I only got nauseous once but I was also taking antibiotics for a bladder infection. I'm just about done my 3rd week and I'm down to maybe 3 smokes a day or less. I definitely can't smoke a whole one anymore because they just taste so bad. This morning I took the pill and all day my food and juice has been tasting very bad. I thought at first it was because I had a couple drags off a smoke and then brushed my teeth and that was making my raspberry lemonade taste gross but everything I have eaten or drank today has been tasting disgusting. Has anyone else had this problem?

Marina I think you now need to pick your date and get off the smokes, typically you are to quit within two weeks of starting on champix. If they don't taste good and nothing else tastes good, you are ready to quit! For me alcohol did not taste right for the first month. It's different for everyone. I suggest taking the pills with meals only, that really helps cure the nausea. All the best to on your journey!
