Didn't even notice that when I bought mine over a month ago! haha. I've been on 25mg of zoloft for about 4 months now, and actually started weening myself off when my Npro arrived in the mail (just a coincidence) and have been on the medication for atleast 2 weeks while vaping the hell out of my Npro. I have had no problems at all.
Prior to e-cigs, I've been chewing Nicorette for months while being on Zoloft, and had no issues as well.
IMHO, I think that warning is just a pre-cautionary statement, and granted, I don't know how nicotine reacts with Anti-D's, but I know alcohol can be fatal if you drink too much while on them. So who knows!
Everyone is different though, so if you are interested in e-smoking, I would recommend you vaping w/ low nicotine content and take it from there.
Hope that helps.

I think thats pretty standard as with any antidepressants.. There are many warnings like that on OTC stuff too. Just make sure they can be used together. You can ask a pharmacist or even a doctor. Alot has to do with the nicotine I think as thats a stimulant in itself.
You asked about this on another thread and I answered there:

That's a good question, does it specify MAOIs, SSRIs, Tricyclics? Or just say "antidepressants". When I have gotten prescriptions for antidepressants (all SSRIs), no Dr has ever asked If I smoked. I never got any hint that there was a contraindication with nicotine. I think I've read all the insert materials in the SSRIs and don't ever remember seeing anything like that.
Does the NPro label caution against a ton of things/interactions (in which case we know they are just covering their asses)? Or are antidepressants singled out?

Jennydotz: I think they're just covering their asses because it doesn't single out any specific antidepressants..it also says that NJOY products are not intended for "pregnant women, women breastfeeding, people with risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or taking medicine for depression or asthma."
I'm going to keep using my NPRO and not worry about it anymore. Thanks.

I think A LOT of people who are anti-depressants smoke... Probably more likely to smoke than others actually. I take Celexa for anxiety and I vape like crazy.. I do feel a little spacy.. Maybe I am taking in too much nic..
I think that warning is on NRT products. It's part warning and part disclaimer, nicotine is known to cause problems for some of those groups of people.
It shows a health/medical approach to the drug rather than the outdated tobacco type logic that they can do what they like, cause what they like and not give information or warnings about known risks and ingredients.

I didn't notice that in the manual, either. I'm using an Njoy Npro with Wellbutrin and it's fine.
Quitting smoking increases my risk of depression and makes it really, really hard to concentrate or get anything done. Thank goodness there's e-cigs. They provide the nicotine I need. (Analogs also provide MAO inhibitors which probably provide an antidepressant effect, but can't have everything.)

Have you considered vaping while drinking passion flower tea, it has harmine in it which apparently improves the feel good effects and duration of the nicotine - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/6739-passion-flower-has-harmine.html
