Mawn...warm welcome and really sorry that you feel the way you described....I can imagine that....Champix is a very good but can be nasty ...

Eating something whilst taking the pill usually helps with the nausea...Not to early in the morning and not to late at night...Drink lots of water and if possible exercise ...

I know how you feel ...It is a total ''Blah"

Stay strong and push through...!!

Hercu is right. It’s good and bad. Try and take it at the same time every day too. If your symptoms remain the same or worsen I would contact your physician

Huge welcome to our community MawnShason - below is a link to a pinned post on Champix and its side effects worth a read if not already done so. If they continue to get worse and not improve, go back to your doctor who prescribed the champix to discuss it.

We look forward to seeing you in Day 1 very soon :)

Hello MawnShason !!

I do agree with the comments above. I hated every single minute of my 3-month Champix experience. BUT IT WORKED and i have not had a cigarette for over a year now :)

I was constantly moody and nauseous. Not the happy person i always was. But i persisted.

Take the pill with breakfast and never take your 2nd pill after 6pm. Those are the rules.

It's a magic but strong pill.

YOU GOT THIS - KEEP GOING AND GOOD LUCK xx

Well I hate to throw caution to the wind here but for me it has been amazing, no nausea, sleeping issues or anything. Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones but stick with it MawnShason, it’ll be so worth it in the end plus what is 3 months out of a lifetime of freedom?! 💪💪💪💪
