It's been used in Eastern Europe for decades. Its an extract from a species of Acacia tree IIRC.
Ive taken Chantix and had the nightmares and weird personality fluctuations. Luckily nothing permanent.
With Desmoxan, you take a pill every two waking hours while smoking. On day 5 or 6, you're supposed to stop smoking and then after a few days start weening yourself off the Desmoxan.
The Desmoxan blocks the nicotine receptors. By the last day of smoking, I wasn't getting the hit anymore and it actually made the cigarettes taste awful. Made it easy to quit. I fell off the wagon twice, couldn't stand more than a couple of smokes, and quit again.
You can get it on Amazon, but it ships from Poland and the instructions are in Polish so you have to Google English instructions. IIRC, a pack of 100, which is the full course, was around $20. I bought two and still have all but about 10 of the second pack.
No side effects for me, and supposedly the side effects that do occur for others are temporary.
Not for me. Once I was off the smokes and Desmoxan, I've had two very mild cravings. Really more like realizations that I would have lit up a cigarette in this situation.
The two times I went off during the Desmoxan routine were very stressful situations. Fortunately, I've only been in one since the full quit and I didn't feel the need for a smoke.
But everyone is different.YMMV.
I will say I had something like an asthma attack last night, kinda outta nowhere. I already had an OTC inhaler so no biggie, but it was a bit worse than when I was smoking and I don't know what triggered it. According to the Internet, this is normal after quitting.
I HATE Chantix. My mother and I were very close as I was her only daughter. We'd call each other every day and usually a few times each day.We'd take trips together an always had a lot of fun. Mom began taking Chantix to stop smoking and she had a personality change. She became very brittle and mean. Sadly, even after quitting Chantix, the personality change remained. It got to the point where, at times, my husband forbade me from going to her house because I'd come home crying. I don't know if she hated me when she died but she surely didn't like me. Broke my heart that we were never able to mend what had been one of the most important relationships of my life.
That's heartbreaking . When I took it, the side effects were known but they were all supposed to be temporary. Wasn't until later it started to come out that they could be permanent. And it's still on the market even though they banned Ivermectin for awhile...

Fwiw, I smoked and/or vaped for most of 30 years, although generally under a pack a day or equivalent.
I think this is the longest ive gone without nicotine since about 2008 or so.
No cravings or withdrawal symptoms? I've been smoking/vaping for 30 yrs too. Trying to get rid of bad habits at the moment.

Interesting. I will use this when i decide to quit vaping. Now if they had a pill to help cravings for a beer!

Praying you haven't had any lasting effects. Dollars over their humanity - one day they'll ahve to answer for this.
Praying for you and your family; may the Lord send you a little sign that she's back to normal and has had her deep love for you fully restored.
Thank you, Litecola2.
