Advice for people who are having stomach/sleep issues with Chantix

I had really bad nausea and gas from Chantix....aside from taking it with a full meal and lots of water, it really helps to take an antacid along with it- my doctor's advice, and it really worked. Sorry if this is already known! It super helps to do that before bed to curb the crazy dreams or nightmares. Another thing to remember about the dreams is that if you're stomach is upset or digesting something hard (say steak, or something high fat) you are already prone to having bad dreams. So eating well before bedtime and taking an antacid works.

Tomorrow is my quit day and I just joined here, wish me luck 🙂
