Good luck ariadneol, I quit on Champix a little over 2 years ago. It was my second time on Champix too. I cut back down to only half a dose after about a month after quitting smoking and made sure I ate and drank a full glass of water when taking the pill or it gave me nausea and pains too. Congratulations on your decision to quit this nasty habit and welcome to the group.
