Day 1 about to quit / nausia help

[nsd_user663_2225]

Hi All

On day 9 with Champix but feel sick for 1/2 hr after taking - doesnt help taking other medicines at same time but should be off most of them in 3 weeks.

Any advice / tips on tackling nausia (aches and pains also but controllable).

Been eating a dry cracker as soon as I take the Champix which seemed to help but now on the stronger dose and its knocked me more than when I had morning sickness with the little one!

Realy want to quit even though I love smoking but for sake of my health and the little one realy need to hang on in there

Cheers

Hi Whitto and img252.imageshack.us/img252...

to the place where there's method in the madness!

Champix is great for me and I reckon it's made the difference between success and another failure. The forum too has been and is invaluable because everyone here knows what they're talking about.

Have a great quit.

Hi Whitto,

Welcome to our formum,

250

I am on day 45 of champix and I stopped on day 11, I found for the first two weeks I was really feeling sick most of the time but it did definately improve after day 11 when I stopped smoking as well. I feel ok now as long as I eat something like cereal or toast before taking the tablet, if I only had a dry cracker I would still feel sick. I must admit, I was feeling like giving in at the beginning because of the sickness but I am so glad I didn't. Give it a bit longer and eat before taking and see what happens when you stop smoking.

Try cutting them in half like justin said as well, try anything but stay strong and don't give in yet.

Good luck and let us know how you get on,

Befly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Only had 2 cigarettes today - split over the day - Plan is for tomorrow to be first no smoking day and hope that the sickness will lighten. Thank you all for comments and support - it really helps and will get pressure band for sickness also (forgot about that when I was pregnant). Trying ginger also but struggling as diet is limited due to oespohagous / tummy probs. All the more to keep trying though! May split tabs if still sickness after I have stopped for a few days.

Take care guys and thanks again.

Congratulations on getting down to 2 cigarettes ... today is the day

I hope the sickness has subsided a bit.

Will be joining you for no smoking on Wednesday (i've cut down but am not doing as well as you - hoping suddenly the champix will kick in big time tomorrow which is my last day of smoking!)

GOOD LUCK

Ali

Hi Ali

Dont take champix my self but some have said they smoked more not less before the stop day so dont worry to much Just stick to your day and go for it . Good luck and let us know how your doing Linda xxx

[nsd_user663_2225]

Hi All

Not wanting cigarette today at all - sickness settled after about 2 hours and back at work after being on sick. Keeping my mind busy anyhow which helps. Had more to eat before tablets but still sicky but will try food before & after tablets and getting anti sickness wrist band today. Will try anything to hang on!

Good luck Ali for Wednesday! I'm on day 9 which although feeling sick the craving has really lessened - even when I had 2 yesterday I felt I didn't really want them (habit mostly!). It will get better for you also!

This site really helps and is nice to get encouragement and positive feedback and tips!

Awww I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling terrible when you take your no smoking meds. I hope that they begin to help you instead of make things worse for you! I quit cold turkey so I have no help for you about Champix, but i wish i did :confused:

Feel better soon

[nsd_user663_2225]

Getting better!

Yippee - day 1 over - not a single puff!

Eating toast and just had my tablet during breakfast - last night it worked and I did not feel sick - hopefully will work this morning although feel a little queasy already!

Talk about vivid dreams though when on the tablets - hopefully these may settle also and get a proper nights sleep.

Cheers

Whitto

Good that you are controlling the sickness too. It's awful .. I went through an attack of the up-chucks yesterday afternoon - not pleasant

Take care and have another good day

Hey Carol,

I'm a day behind you and in a similar position. I have little cravings that I can feel now and again. I'm quite tired as I haven't slept much recently so I'll go to bed, too.

Day 2 for me tomorrow. You can pass on your experience of how I'll feel as the feeling will still be fresh for you.

Sleep well

Graeme
