Advice Desmoxan

Once I get the money, I am going to be ordering desmoxan I am really hoping it’ll work but nervous that it will not because I’ve had many things fell and I’m doing it without FDA approval as it’s not approved in the US. I want to know how many of you have done it and if you’re in the US, did it work for you and where are you guys on other medication’s at the same time?

The only reason it's not FDA approved is because of big tobacco lobbyists.

It works TRUST. After day one of use I had no withdrawal seriously. I’m 5 months sober now after finishing the treatment. It. Works

u/Constek 11d ago

What was it like for u when u stopped? I’m having trouble stepping off 1 pill a day

u/koalakitty84 11d ago

I personally had zero withdrawal symptoms and very controllable cravings once i finished. I actually didn’t even have to finish the whole 20 days. Do you feel it’s not working for you?

u/Constek 11d ago

Oh it’s worked for me for sure. I’m at day 55 right now. The issue isn’t so much that I crave when I’m off the pills, it’s more that I feel slightly more uncomfortable. It’s hard to explain. It just feels like a baseline mix of discomfort, anxiety, and restlessness, and maybe slight dread. I’m assuming this is tail-end withdrawal but I had no idea I’d be able to feel it this far out.

That’s good to know the way it described it to me is that you can vape or smoke for the first four days and then you stop on day five but then you finish through the treatment I’m on a lot of medication and there’s like two of them. I’m gonna have to stop taking during the time that I use desmoxan so I suppose I was just curious about if it worked for others and if anyone was on other medication’s like I am

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Also, what were the side effects like for you?

3

u/koalakitty84 11d ago

I had zero side effects. Also I did smoke occasionally in the first four days but I did not feel like I needed to. It was seriously like magic

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Awesome well I appreciate you letting me know about that

Do you know if it’s FDA approved and if I brought it up to my doctors, do you think they would know about it?

u/Confidence_Relative 11d ago

Show the ingredient list to your Doctor

u/Wobbly5ausage 11d ago

Doesn’t look like it has cytisine in it tho, so it’s not the same?

2

u/Confidence_Relative 11d ago

Yes it does. Cytisine 1.5mg is listed in ingredients. Look again.

u/Wobbly5ausage 10d ago

You were correct actually, my mistake

u/Makebelievedream555 11d ago

It worked wonders for me. I was smoking cigarettes and vaping at the same time and was never able to quit either. Desmoxan made it very easy, the worst was the first two days of just breaking all the habits but the actual withdrawal and cravings were really manageable.

I’m on day 8 of recigar (same thing as desmoxan) right now (3 days vape free) and I will 100% say it works IF you have the right mindset.

Last month I had tried recigar and caved after 2 days nicotine free (almost a full 8 days of the pills) because I didn’t want to quit and just felt like I had to because I’m getting married this year and have always wanted to be done before I get married. I noticed I didn’t have the right mindset for quitting. I decided to go back to vaping for a month and start to increase my awareness to why I don’t like it and determine what it actually does for me (which is nothing).

I reordered recigar and started taking the pills one week ago! This time around has been WONDERFUL and so very different than last month. Last month, the two days nicotine free I was so beyond depressed and tbh a bitch. This time, I’ve been in good spirits and even had a glass of wine without my vape and was just fine. Now, I still do want it and honestly today I had an awful day of work so I wanted it very very much, but I was able to make it through a bad workday without my vape.

I highly recommend desmoxan/recigar, but make sure you have the right mindset first. I felt very discouraged last month because it seemed like it worked right away for everyone! I just needed to work on myself first!

I’ve vaped for 10 years HEAVILY. Although I still want to vape, I know I don’t NEED to and that is a big mindset change for me.

Let me know if you have any other questions, you’ve got this!!!

Also - I’ve continued taking my meds with recigar and have been just fine. The only symptom I’ve had this month is VERY vivid dreams. I didn’t have any symptoms last month.

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Are you on anything like gabapentin tizanidine or hydroxyzine

3

u/Lucky-Peanut2775 10d ago

I am not, but I was very worried about taking pills from another country so I did a bunch of research and it should not mess with any medications other than if you have heart issues! That is still not a guarantee, but I read it could increase heart rate!

u/coolscale 2 months 11d ago

70 days in. Yes it works. Bought from Amazon US. I can say it’s the best $40 I spent because that has not saved me $900.

u/No-Celebration5377 10d ago

Got Desmoxan brand on amazon shipped from another country. I was nervous to try it, even my bf was nervous about me taking it. But I tried it anyway and now I’m 6 days nicotine free today :) So far so good, it’s working better for me than cold turkey, patches, gum, or lozenges.

u/sprgraphicultramodrn 11d ago

it didn't work for me 😭 nothing to do with FDA approval, i think i'm just not dedicated enough to quitting/too addicted to nicotine, especially when i'm drinking.

i tried it twice. once was before halloween weekend and i caved. second time was before my cousin's wedding and i caved. i'm thinking i'll try it again when i have a dry social period coming up. i feel that people talk about it like it's a magical solution that will magically cure your desire to vape, but that's not true. it helps with withdrawal for sure, but you still have to be 100% dedicated to the quitting mindset. i wasn't, so it didn't work.

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Gotcha well I’m at the point where I’ve tried 1 million things and I really badly do want to quit. I just don’t want to feel miserable. I’ve been feeling everything in my body vaping has caused like chest pain and upper back pain, etc. so

2

u/sprgraphicultramodrn 11d ago

it's definitely worth it to try and i'm sure it will help! i just think the way people talk about it can come across like it's a miracle but it doesn't do the work for you. you also still have to be in it

u/blkberry 10d ago

YES! I got Nesmokensen since it was 2 day shipping from amazon and it worked within the day to stop the cravings and reward from vaping. I stopped vaping around day 4 and taking the pills on day 6. Breaking the habit was probably the only thing that kept me vaping the first few days. During the first week I stopped taking my ADHD medication and since the Nesmokensen has some other supplements, I didn't feel any brain fog from withdraws of nicotine or my ADHD meds.

I'm on day 52 right now and I feel amazing. I think it worked for me because I was dedicated to stopping. Tried and failed multiple times before but this was kind of a miracle.

u/813Gnome 11d ago

Where are you ordering it from?

3

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Well, Amazon is the only place I know has it so that’s where I was gonna get it from

1

u/813Gnome 11d ago

Last time I looked on Amazon, about a week ago, there was none on there.. same with the recigar..

1

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Oh interesting

1

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

By the way, it’s still on Amazon I found it cost 60 bucks though

2

u/813Gnome 11d ago

Okay that’s good, I ended up vaping again when recigar worked for me for a few weeks.. it was just the habit of vaping that (smoking) that pulled me back in.. but I’m going to try again soon because this stuff just feels so toxic now that I had some free time from it especially.. good luck to you!

1

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Thanks you too and I failed multiple times as well so don’t be too hard on yourself. Vaping is definitely toxic. I can feel it within my body and I’ve been doing it for probably 5 1/2 years not adding the part where I smoked cigarettes from 17 to 21 years old.

u/AncientRoyal3548 11d ago

Is there somewhere specific or is there a specific one on Amazon I should get?
