Champix is working... I'm on day 14 of the drug, haven't smoked at all for 3 days. Had only about 10 in 7 days, but of those 10 I didn't get past half way once. Nauseas at the thought or smell of smokes now. Cannot be around someone smoking purely because the smell Is so strong and nauseating. I know I will never smoke another cigarette. But want to continue the Champix to reinforce that. It just makes me so Ill for 10-15mins even with water and food. I just keep saying to myself it's better than cancer. When I use to crave I'd think I could use a smoke, now my thoughts are, you DONT SMOKE ANYMORE. Thanks Champix, not forbade nausea though, that sucks.

Good for you, stick with it. Try taking your champix after food, not with it. I was bringing yoghurt and a banana to work (for my breakfast) and I'd take my tablet after eating it. A good swig of water as well. I've been lucky enough not to experience the nausea. I also cut my dosage down to half a tab morning and night and now I often forget to take it at all. I feel I'm still doing ok, not tempted to smoke. Day 47 now. Everything smells so much better and I'm getting close to savings of $1000 !!!! I'm not suggesting you alter your dosage, it just suits me to do so that's all. The dreams at night time were making me tired, so weird but quite fascinating :)
