@ChezziePT Welcome to the Ex and congrats on three days smoke free. Have you read the instructions? There are 3 methods to us Chantix. With the first two methods you take it for 12 weeks and the 3rd method for 24 weeks. I don't think you'd get the full benefit of using in for two weeks. Some people need a few weeks for it to begin working. Have you considered using NRT with the Chantix.
I would recommend talking to a pharmacist if you're not confident in your doctor.
In addition to any aid, have you been doing the work for a successful quit?
I thought I had everything in place for my final quit, until I learned I needed to understand nicotine addiction and that I needed a plan that would prepare me for what I was going to encounter on my journey. And for the first time, I had the support of fellow quitters.
Take the time to learn how to do this. Part of it is mindset and part of it is hands on work identifying triggers, what tools you'll use, what associations you'll create instead of smoking, etc. Spend time on the site, getting a well as giving support. The early days take commitment so why not have other quitters to help you deal with the up and downs of this journey.
