What users say
Verbatim quotes, shortened only — each links to the original discussion.
“Cytisine helps a lot too. But I think these eventually can fuck you up.”
“its basically a less dopaminergic (read as less euphoric and less addicting) but longer acting nicotinic agonist”
“Cytisine is apparently a cheat code, just stick to the schedule and don't take different amounts since it's meant to work with the exact number of pills”
“Have you tried cytisine? It seems pretty interesting.”
“cytisine helped me keep my ADHD symptoms under control better than any other cholinergenic nicotine replacement”
