Take your tablets after food so you have a full stomach. I was only nauseous in the mornings as I probably had a built up of food during the day and used to take my evening one after my tea about 7 to 7.30. Don't take your morning tablet with milk I started having my breakfast with peppermint tea and that helped also by Day 15 of the tablets my nausea has finally stopped of its own so can have a cuppa with my breakfast now. Keep up the good work you will still feel niggly like you want a smoke (I do) but just think of something else.

Hi Nikki

On day 10, took morning tablet with something to eat and have pm tablet at about 1600 hours with also something to eat, apparently reduces dreaming. I have had no side effects other then the odd dream.

Hello Nikki,

There is a chance that the Champix could be affecting your moods, tho if it is not an appreciable difference, would remain on them. Watch yourself over the next day or so and if you find your moods worsening, off to the GP you should go. May be advisable to make an app't for Monday and speak to him/her in any case.

Personally I hated champix, although the first 8 days certainly took the edge off the cravings.

Started Champix on 17th feb. Quit date and up to full strength tabs on 25th. Felt dizzy to the point where I felt unsafe to drive, got lots of nausea and mood swings too. Stopped Champix around 3 days after that and went cold turkey, although I still pop the odd one now and then

Speak to your doc if you are having problems. A lot of folks report success when cutting the blue ones in half

Hi again,

I started champix on 7th March, with a quit day of 16th March, by day three cigs were 'not the same' and I felt shattered, quit the cigs on day 7, but decided to just take one tablet a day from day eight, am now on day 13 of the tablets, but felt so awful yesterday decided not to take a tablet today. I have just read a great book called Never take another Puff by Joel Spitzer - when I can work out how to attach the link here I will. Yes its great to have support - good luck we can do it!:)
