Welcome to the forum, launie, and well done on getting to the 3rd week already! Not an expert on Champix at all but I do believe nausea is a common side effect. More will post and give you their opinions. I know morning sickness so I'm sorry if you are feeling that way...... yuck! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Hey, welcome to the site.

Again I'm not any expert either. However I do know that it's got something to to with eating. Are you taking the tabs before eating or after? Try the reverse of what you are doing.

Congrats on stopping smoking

Hi Launie

Well done you 15 days smoke free is great keep it going

I also used Champix and had that feeling of nausea with the morning one and you're right it feels exactly like morning sickness I solved it by taking it later and not first thing as I don't eat breakfast but if you eat something first and then take it with a full glass of water it should solve it for you

Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and give all new members

Hi Launie

Im in the same boat, day 24 of giving up and 30 of taking champix. I still get the sickness feeling for about an hour every time i take the tablet so i guess its normal. what i have found though is have something to eat just before you take the pill its seems to reduce the sickness.

or maybe you DO have morning sickness lol

hang in there
