Started Taking Chanix, Stomach Upset. How To Go About Quitting This Medication ?
Hi
I started taking Chanix a while back, took the two wks or more while on vacation, I had to take a pill to help with upset stomach. While the meds say I can smoke for the first two weeks, while I didn't I quit cold turkey cause I was with family that did not smoke.
'while when I got back home I keep taking but then my stomach became so upset I quit.
My question I I still have the pills and want to know can I go back on them and try again. I was told to purchase " Ginger Root has 500 mg to help calm my digestive system. I really do want to quit. Can you tell me the best way to go about getting back on this medication.
thanks
