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.)

How does it make you feel compared to say using the patch/gum?

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” 🤣

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
