Tips for champix please!

Hi everyone!
I'm on day 19 of champix and have not had a cigarette in 13 days!
I've smoked for 17 years and this is my first attempt of seriously quitting.
I am struggling a bit on champix it is making me very nauseous all throughout the day and even worse after my second tablet at night. I always take the tablet with food and lots of water.
Also my tatesbuds have totally changed and things I would normally love to eat and drink I can't stand. I'm craving orange juice which is not something I normally have amd have gone off all sweets except water icy poles which seem to settle my tummy at night.
Coffee and tea which I would normally drink a lot of especially green tea I have not had since I started the champix.
I'm also very tired and my sleeping patterns have changed I am barley wake up before 7:30am anymore
No vivid dreams/nightmares yet and no mood swings either.
Even after all the negative I do feel super proud of myself and am excited to be a non smoker!!

Hi Naomi, you should feel proud of yourself, your doing great! Remember that your body always intuitively knows what it needs, orange juice is great, listen to your body. I've been drinking lemon juice and water first thing every morning, very cleansing! Good luck to you.
