Well done on 3 weeks quit!

I also had nausea, but only with the morning pill. I decreased to only 1 pill daily taken with supper and this worked for me. There are quite a few tips on coping with champix nausea if you search on this site. Different things worked for different people.

Hang in there, you're doing great!
