My buddy from a different class was hanging out in a cafe before going in for our afternoon classes. I’ve been trying ways to stay awake during lecture and coffee didnt even have an effect on me anymore and I stopped drinking it because it was too much sugar. My friend said I should try to pop a zyn before the class starts and he gave me a pack from his tin. He was taking zyn so he would stop vaping and thats his new thing I guess.
When class started I popped it in my mouth and it started tingling between my gums, I also noticed that strong taste of nicotine in my throat everytime I swallowed. After 5 mins I started to focus better, but after 10 mins I started to feel nauseated and light headed. This class was 2 hours long, I didnt have water and the AC wasnt turned on low and I had a jacket on. I started sweating like crazy and I felt like I was drunk. I didnt even get to focus on class because I couldnt hear anything and my ears were buzzing. 40 mins in I decided to take a bathroom break and went straight to the canteen and bought 2 bottles of cold water and a snack. I spit out the zyn in the bathroom and washed my face. On the way back I bumped into my research adviser and asked if what was the update on our thesis. I couldnt speak properly and said I told him I was feeling sick so he wouldnt catch on, idk if its illegal to take zyn in school but Ive seen people take it in class.
I texted my friend who gave me one and he says he takes like a pack for very class. Idk how he does it and stays fine. I vaped before for like a month until I ran out of juice and stopped, I havent smoked either so maybe I was just couldnt handle the nicotine.
TL;DR: first time taking zyn in class, ears were buzzing and I couldnt understand anything. Felt like shit and was about to spill everything I ate for lunch.

Sounds like classic nicotine poisoning/overdose to me.. Those things are only meant for people quitting smoking and following the advised guidelines.
I’d see a doctor just to make sure you’re fine now and to help you find something that works.
ETA; i googled it. In Belgium it’s illegal because our nic limits for sigarettes is set at 1mg, and in zyn you can find up to 9mg. If you had that dose, that’s the equivalent of smoking 9 normal brand cigarettes.
Nicotine pouches hit way harder if you’re not used to it. Your body literally doesn’t know how to handle it yet buzzing ears and nausea are normal for first-timers.
What strength were the Zyns? You should’ve spit it out earlier lol. But yeah it’s not for everyone and if you are sensitive to nicotine i wouldn’t recommend (I vape regularly, and I won’t touch the stuff personally)
But no you don’t need to see a doctor. Just don’t take them. One of the worst things you could get addicted to. You know that there is coffee without sugar, right?
Not taking it out after 10 mins is hilarious. Bro went NPC mode
