day 1 of chantix for me! i said i was going to start monday but ya know..:D
i still couldn't find anything to eat with the dose so i just had a cup of yogurt and a bottle of water in the hopes that it would be enough to keep the nausea away.. and i figured heck if it makes me sick and i have to puke id much rather have that come back up then a full breakfast.. lol! sorry for the visual. but with all the nausea talk with this med i figured i should probably plan ahead for the worst case.. :)

Don't worry if you didn't start you Chantix on "the day." I know how that is. The main thing is you're on your way now and I think you'll be surprised at how the Chantix works. It was a comfort to be able to continue to smoke while the Chantix built up in my system. It became harder and harder to smoke a cigarette before my quit day. That quit day always loomed like an execution date for me in the past trying other products. With Chantix it wasn't hard at all. GOOD LUCK!

Wow!!! Congratulations Punkdizzle!!! Very nice job...
I think you will find the nausea will subside in time. Be sure to take the Chantix AFTER you eat.

well even though this is only day 2 here is a little update..
so far with the .5mg i am have little to no side effects.. just a tad light headed for about 2 hrs after i take it but nothing major... and that could just be from the combo of other meds i have to take..
i don't know if i would call it a side effect (probably a little to early to tell) but i have been pretty hungry the last 2 days.. not really a bad thing since i need to gain some weight anyway..

I have been hungrier than usual as well. I'm trying to be very conscious of what/when I eat as I don't want to fall into the normal quit-smoking trap of replacing butts with food! Good luck and keep up the good work!:D

Punkdizzle,
Good going. The first few days are a little hard....not because you want a cigarette....but because the "habit" keeps popping up. Takes a while to break that. Glad you're tolerating the drug so far. Just keep telling yourself that Smoking is no longer an option. You're doing good!!!!
Paula,
One thing at a time. Don't worry about overeating right now. You can always take the weight off later. This is more important right now. If you increase your exercise, that will help with your quit and also your weight.
Good Luck to you!!
