Smoke and Haze

I know, I have neglected to write about the Chantix experience lately. In my defense it was pretty much exactly the same and I figured that would just be boring to read about. So I have waited a little while to say what's up.
So far cigarettes are not working anymore. I want to smoke, to get the nicotine, but there was no relief when I smoke. Kinda driving me crazy.
The withdrawals from nicotine is the major reason I fail so many times when I try to quit. The withdrawals are not as severe on this pill, but I also have not completely given up smoking so the heavy withdrawal may not have yet come.
So far I am very satisfied by the results of this pill. Save for one side affect. The nausea.
After I take a pill, one 1 mg pill in the morning and one in the afternoon. For twenty to thirty minutes after I take the pill there is nausea.
I can deal with nausea. However, the past two days I have had one full hour, if not more, of pure Hell.
The nausea has been debilitating. My stomach has turned outside in and inside out. I spend twenty minutes dry heaving and fifteen to twenty minutes of the burping, salivating lead up to dry heaving. I literally hold my stomach and moan. So far I have found no way to relieve this pain either.
I rather not smoke than have the pain so for now I can do the trade off if it gets me to stop smoking. Now if it gets worse, well then maybe I should re-evaluate.
Like always wish me luck.
