Nauseated On Chantix

Updated

Ok so I'm on day 7 of Chantix and for the first 4 days taking it I was throwing up so I decided to eat before taking it. Well the throwing up went away but not the nauseated feeling.. Also I've tried drinking oj, apple juice, water, etc and nothing seems to help...

What works for you guys?

Hello, Mandi! How are you feeling?

The nausea should eventually go away, as your body gets used to the medication, but that may take about 4 weeks, or so.

Have you tried taking it with milk? Crackers or break may also help more.

The FDA lists the other typical side effects of this medication as possibly including stomach pain, indigestion, constipation, weakness and dry mouth.

Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?

Yeah the sad thing is the stomach pains went away and now I'm back smoking. I'm still taking the chantix though ugh I just want to quit

What worked best for me, to be honest, was a slow taper. I gradually reduced how much I smoked each day, rather than trying to quit cold turkey or try another medication. Nothing else had worked for me, from patches to medications.

But tapering was something I could do and stick with.

It says in the leaflet to eat a full meal and drink a full glass of water.

Does it have to be water I drink with each dose or can it be any liquid?

So I've been taking the pill for about 4-5weeks now and here's my exp. Since about day one I get a small amount of nasua at first I vomited like the first couple days mabye cuz empty stomach usually the morning one gets me but it has died down to lil if not none but I still take a glass of milk with it cuz it seems to help and u don't have to eat cuz I'm a coffee drinking late eater. Now craving I notice started to get not so extreme and longer periods after about 3 weeks I still had a cigg or 2 a day but now can get through the holding thought cravings better and can say it's been worth the nasua for sure just was a lil nerve racking at first hope this helps u all and yes nasua is common 30% and milk has helped me
