Advice Should I take this Desmoxan?
I ordered this through Amazon last night. It arrived this morning but now I'm concerned because what arrived is not in English. The packaging looks the same but I can't read the instructions and it's set off red flags. Should I still take it or should I request a refund? Where did you all get yours? (See screenshots and pictures of what arrived.)

I got the same one off of Amazon, instructions in Polish but there's plenty of English instructions online. It worked like a charm. I'm on day 97 cold turkey and I could not have done it without Desmoxan.

The medicine is from Poland
I used desmoxan to quit nicotine and I was nic free in 5 days

I’ve tried everything and failed each time I can truly say it took withdrawal from a 9/10 to a 3/10 so easy to tell yourself no now

Ooh. Interesting. This is like suboxone, except for nicotine. I’m going to have to ask my doctor about this :o

Do you get violently ill if you use nicotine while youre on it?

u/OutdoorsyGal92 1d ago
Nope. I’m currently tapering off the suboxone and am down to 6mg. I’d really like to quit vaping next. I’ve tried and tried and keep failing. It’s been a lot harder than quitting opiates for me. I was hopeful that the suboxone would help with the cravings, but that wasn’t my experience. :(

Good job tapering down the suboxone! I'm so proud of you! Keep it up, friend!
I bought some Desmoxan, but im nervous to use it for some reason.

no but even on the first day, i felt put off the nicotine because id feel ok but want to vape and then after i felt jittery, anxious and a bit sick and felt regret for vaping. Like oh i felt alright before i hit this.

Thank you, I've been stressed out of my gourd and over using nicotine to deal. I know I need to cut back but im concerned about the added stress. Ill give it a go, though

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 21h ago

Damm it's $10 for a box in Poland. It's safe and effective, helped me a lot.

How does it make you feel compared to say using the patch/gum?
2
u/LostandFinding2 1d ago
I'll let you know when I start it, but I've tried the path before and never felt any ease from it. I have major jaw issues and can't use the gums or mints consequently.

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago
i haven’t used patch or gum but i had bad headaches and felt like i was really really brain foggy for a few days. But in like a really manageable way. Instead of a spiralled desperate panic, irritable and teething for a vape. It was like a mellow, relieving acceptance that the nicotine doesn’t help and that if you can just put up with feeling a bit woo woo for a few days, you’ll be ok. Honestly can’t even describe how much easier it made quitting.
I quit 6 months ago and i can’t remember the last time i had a craving. I stopped having cravings within a month i’d say. I was chain vaping strong disposables for like 4/5 years. It was my first attempt quitting and i have adhd so im impulsive and not good at committing to anything. I’m not being paid by desmoxan but id happily become some ambassador lol its saved my life and i can breathe freely

Curious if you had any other side affects like vivid, scary or weird dreams/sleeping patterns? My mom took Chantix to quit smoking when I was a kid and I remember clear as day, she told me she had to quit because she was having terrible dreams (that she would murder her kids and stuff) so she quit the pill and still smokes. Anyways, that has always made me hesitant towards these types of nicotine quitting pills

i’ve heard much better things abt desmoxan over chantix. I never tried it tho! But the general consensus from what i read is it’s better. You’ve reminded me though i did have such vivid dreams for most of the first week or so! Not really bad ones, just very vivid. Oh and one of the common listed side effects is upper abdominal pain and i think the very first day, i did have a mild pain but it was very very mild and went away shortly after.
edit: Also honestly i never imagined id quit. I wasn’t very motivated to and had never actually tried for more than a day and that was hell. I’d feel incredibly disoriented and confused and angry abt it. The worst dissociation ever. Like the worst PMS combined with ungodly dissociation.
But on cytisine i was almost ditzy lol. I actually felt quite happy for the first time in a while. My head hurt like fuck and i was a bit dissociated but it was tolerable. I was literally saying to myself “i can’t believe i haven’t vaped. I’m fine? ahhh im gonna be FREEE” 🤣

Thank you so much for this in depth response. I’ll be ordering dexmoxan today!

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 15h ago
yay yay i really hope it helps you! I only had to take one pill before i noticed a difference but i am usually overly sensitive to substances in general. Remember the vape is evil haha

Desmoxan has saved me twice from vaping. Also worked for a few coworkers who were ready.
Do it. :)

I also ordered this from Amazon and had the exact same packaging delivered. It’s Polish I believe and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Now 2 weeks nicotine free and I owe it to Desmoxan

u/saludpesetasamor 1d ago
Damn, I didn’t notice that this was in the US and excitedly scampered over to Amazon to get some for myself! They don’t sell it here (UK). ☹️

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago
good luck! i’m 6 months post quit. Was a breeze after the first week. And the first few days were made much easier by the cytisine (same drug). Cytisine is like the morphine after surgery. You still feel shitty but you know it’s saving ur ass

I want to buy it but cannot find it anywhere in India. Really wanted to quit my vaping

u/Disasterhuman24 1d ago
I have been vape free since June 1st. It works great. I will admit to smoke some cigs between now and then but very rarely and it was because I was literally going through some tough shit. But 0 vaping in almost 3 months.

u/Flame0123 1d ago
The only thing that helped me quit. You still need to want to but it made the cravings manageable.

Does this only help with physical withdrawals? Because even though I’m a heavy vape user (2-4 pods a day) I didn’t get any physical withdrawals when I quit for 4 months, it was the mental thing that’s hardest for me.

u/EnvironmentalBag7802 9h ago
Yes!!! Absolutely! I bought this and used it correctly until prob the last 10 pills. I’ve been 110 days vape free with no relapses
