When I bought my Npro I noticed on the box or instructions, maybe both, not to vape and take antidepressants. Why? I asked my doc and he has no idea whatsoever. I thought maybe someone here would know or have experiences to share. I normally go on some type of antidepressant over the winter months so I'm worried about this. I can't take another analog and certainly not while freezing my butt off outside! Thanks!

They are just covering themselves. Some antidepressants contribute to high blood pressure, nicotine contributes to it as well. So its no different than if you are getting your nicotine in other forms. I wouldn't worry about it.

Here is one source of answering your question. There are many more links. Many people are prescribed anti-depressants during smoking cessation programs. I cannot imagine why any e-cig site would advise against antidepressants. Nicotine also a source of euphoria, so perhaps you would need to adjust any doses of an anti-depressant because you may not need a larger dose, etc., I am no doctor so please understand that you need to seek pro-advise on this. If you can take them while smoking can see no reason an e-cig would be any different, take away 4000 other chemicals!

I feel better now. I certainly don't have to worry about the high blood pressure part. Yesterday it was 112/60! Thanks so much for easing my mind guys ( and girls! )

I have high blood pressure and I am on anti-depressants and I have had no complications with vaping.
