I was getting anxious on the full dose, so I reduced the dose. This reduced the anxiety without losing the stop-smoking benefits of the Champix. Since I only had 1mg tablets, I cut them in half to make 0.5mg doses. So, I recommend reducing the dose back down to levels you can tolerate.

Thanks for replys, halfing the evening one may be an idea Biggrin, Max After half hour of taking them i feel really sick, lose all my energy, feel faint,bad headaches, cant physically do anything for about 2-3 hours, I perk up a bit but still feel really sick. Not ideal with the kids!!

Back at chemist on thursday so will talk about it then see what i can do if its still happening.

Thanks Karri, i did read that so tonight i took it with my meal rather than after with suprising results, i had the same mild nausea i get in the morning but doesnt last long and then i was fine, i dont know if it was the change in time or my body getting used to it either way am going to stick with it.
