Day 23, when do the side effects stop????

[nsd_user663_6169]

Hi,

I am new to this forum. i am currently on day 23 and the side effects are getting worse, mostly nausea, a few times i have been sick, have some very weird dreams although i dont mind them as they give the ones in work a good laugh.

Has anyone else had any symptoms and what did you do to try to stop them. I have been drinking and eating ginger but it doesnt seem to be working anymore.

:eek:

I am on the Champix tablets 1mg twice a day and they really do work, i used to constantly think about smoking and my next ciggie and now it is only very occasional.

Hopefully someone will have some helpful tips as i am getting fed up with constantly feeling like i am going to vomit and am thinking of going of the tablets and going cold turkey...............

thanks in advance for any responses.

Welcome and well done.

Just a quick note of welcome and also some advice about Champix and nausea. Try eating before taking them...

That often sorts out the problem.

Keep on keepin' on,

Hi Shelley

Well done on 23 days quit that's great keep it going

I used champix and had nausea with the morning one I solved it by taking a bit later not first thing

Eating before you take it helps to and have a large glass of water with it if it persists or gets worse go back to your Dr he should be able to give you something to help with it

Hi Shelley

I felt exactly the same on Champix. They certainly do what they say on the tin, but the side effects of nausea, vivid dream, disturbed sleep etc were a bit grim. But I thought well worth putting up with for a few weeks. I too cut down to one tab after about a month, then after a couple of weeks went to half a tab, now I'm on half a tab every other day. I don't think it's recommended (or not) by the medics but cutting down gradually worked for me, cured the side effects and I haven't had any cravings for cigarettes as a result.
