Ive started taking Chantix and I have quit smoking my problem is that the second pill I take makes me sick an -
me sick. Any suggestions?
I am a pharmacy student and I just looked a the literature about Chantix. Being nauseated was experienced by 16-30% of people in the studies they have done on chantix. This is dose-dependent, which means the higher the dose, the higher the chance you will feel nauseated. If you are taking the 1mg dose I would talk to your doctor or pharmacist about lowering the dose, it is recommended if you get really nauseated. Also if your kidneys are not working very well, it can cause more of the medication to stay in your blood for a longer time, this is like taking an bigger dose! Here-s a link from WebMD about the medication (but I used a resource for pharmacists, so you won-t find all the information I gave you on this site).
