I started taking Chantix back in May, and after 3 weeks I was able to quit on June 8th for 45 days. I didn't even want to quit, but needed to for a medical procedure. I couldn't believe how relatively easy it was to just quit after 15 years as a heavy, full-flavor Marlboro smoker. I finished a pack and that was it. After some serious family issues, I actually forced myself to smoke again (stupidly), and trust me, it wasn't easy to go back. The first cigarette, each drag made me feel drunk and nauseated. I had stopped taking Chantix a couple of weeks before (again, stupidly).
I am on Chantix again, and plan on quitting again tomorrow (or when this current pack is gone, probably tonight). My mistake was not continuing to take it long enough after quitting to really help with the cravings I had in my time of stress. I am going to continue treatment for 6 months to ensure that I stay smoke-free.
As for the nausea, I'd had a few bouts in the beginning. Then I discovered that if I sit down to eat a larger, hearty meal (hot, carby stuff like what you'd have for dinner), I'd eat half my meal, take the pill, and then eat the rest. "Burying" the pill in food has combatted nausea EVERY TIME. If you're just having coffee and some yogurt in the morning, or taking this on an empty(ier) stomach, then it's no wonder some of you are nauseated. Try my suggestion and see if it works for you before you give up!
