    No controlled trial has been done with antidepressants and e-cig till now.But you can help her to quit giving e-cig,thats it.
    Its obvious that you,like everyone love your mother.God bless you and may God give her a long functional life.

    There is no way any ecig producer would put this sort of contra-indication info on an ecig box. That would be making drug claims.

    Most antideps are seretonin drugs, and nic should not have a significant influence on them. Lots of people who take antideps also smoke. Not to say switching to ecigs might not be a strong effect, and there are a lot of initial nic withdrawal symptoms which can be pretty dramatic. But there should not be an interaction with most antideps, especially if she is smoking now anyway.
    Deciding not to smoke is one thing. Forgetting to smoke is a different animal altogether.

    well first off you need to explain the medications she is taking then do a simple search online and look up what the mode of action is. (medical jargon) if one or more of these medications affects the nicotinic acytlcholine receptors, or maybe the beta-1,2 receptors. the reason I say that is sure she might smoke but some of these e-liquids are really strong and maybe it could exaggerate a condition brought upon by the antidepressants, such as high blood pressure or heart rate. as far as the pg or VG, I wouldn't worry about that at all I don't believe they have a pharmacological action on anything.
