Seven Days at 1mg 2x a Day and Still Queasy

So one of the side effects of this wonder drug is nausea. Honestly its not that bad. I've noticed that my level of nausea directly relates to the types of foods im eating when I take my pill.

im a young guy (28) so I am still in the habit of skipping breakfast. I've found that if I eat a really really ripe banana, the queasy feeling is minimized. This morning however, I had a banana that was barely ripe and got stick to my stomach for the usual 25 minutes.

In the evening, I usually get less queasy when I take my pill, and I do believe this is a result of the fact that my dinners contain more startches than my lunch or breakfast. However this is proving to be a problem as I try to cut some weight and scale back the carbs at night.

Anyone Chantix users out there have any nausea tips?

So I've been on Chantix for about 14 days now, and I am very pleased with the drug overall. As a smoker for 13 years (between 11-20+ cigs a day), I haven't had a cigarette in 7 days and am going strong.

However I haven't found any good resources for Chantix users on the web (I could never get my Chantix club id on my prescription box to work!) so I figured I would start this blog.

I hope people actually find this site, and maybe we can share our experiences here.
