Most people have not heard of it, my Doc had never heard of it. It is old (in used since the 1940's IIRC) and rarely used nowadays, due to the fact that there is no marketing budget around it. As for getting a script it should not be that hard the dose is so low that a meth addict would have to take a quarter of the bottle to achieve the same effect as smoking street meth. Desoxyn is a salt so it is not smoke-able and smoking is the way that Crystal Meth achieves such an intense high.
