Not a definitive expert, but if you are or were smoking or using tobacco before beginning vaping without any adverse affects from the nicotine in tobacco, I do not see why it would be any different with vaping. However you might search on studies of effects/counter-effects tobacco or nicotine use pertaining to your specific medications would shed more light on if vaping nicotine will do the same.
I take Hydroxyzine HCL for anxiety. I've been on them for about 2 months with no problems. I take low dose pills just to keep me calm and not freak out on people. I'm hoping to be off them soon but I worry that I'll worry about worrying about it. Anxiety sucks.
yes anxiety does suck, I take clozapine, resperidone and clomipramine. but vaping is nice if your having anxiety. if your in a group of people you can break free and go vape somewhere in peace.
I'm sorry you are unwell, but there is no correlation between vaping and antidepressants that I can imagine.
I vaped whilst taking these, It didnt affect this medication in any way and I was on the highest dose 200mg.
Tobacco contains nicotine, which is an alkaloid.
But there are other alkaloids in tobacco (harman and norharman) which are MAOIs.

There is a definite possibility that vaping and smoking could provide different results.
Talk to your doctor.

I think it would be best to discuss this with the doctors that prescribed your medications.
Then run it by an old school pharmacist that may know more about drug interactions.

I've read a number of studies regarding smoking and mental health. I'd speak with your mental health professional if you have quit smoking or were a non-smoker that is now vaping with nicotine to see if they have any advice.
Best of luck!

I've got a bad case of generalized anxiety disorder and have been on Klonopin for a long time now. I haven't noticed any bad effects from vaping. If anything I rely on it too much maybe.

What DC2 and Elvis said.
Also, subject sounded familiar and plugged your thread title into google. A lot of results plus a number of previous threads on ECF. Good luck to you.

I take a 5mg diazepam as needed for anxiety, and I haven't noticed any bad effects from vaping. Doctor or pharmacist would be best to ask, however. Best of luck to you.
I take Lyrica and Cymbalta, one of the two is an antidepressant (I don't remember which). Both are a nerve blocker for a spinal injury I sustained in a forklift accident a few years back.
I haven't noticed any adversed affects due to vaping, but I suppose everyone is different and I would think it could be possible.

Speak to your doctor to see if there are any known interactions.
However, from my own experience, you are the one who lives in your body, and knows it best. I have been prescribed several medications that seemed as if they would work for me; however, the instructions I received were to take a certain amount for a certain time, then increase the dosage. There went any progress. The increased dosage just made things worse. I did not last a week on a different medication, at least on the dosage prescribed. I have a tendency toward Restless Legs Syndrome anyway, and I know what is going on when I start having problems. Within a couple of days of starting one particular medication, I started having problems. I stuck it out for around a week - 3 to 4 days out of the 7 I kept trying, I was up most of the night with RLS symptoms. The prescriber told me that they had never heard that complaint associated with that medication, but when I told her that I was not going to continue with that medication, no matter what, she decided to try another medication.
Bottom line, for me, is that your doctor has the education to try to help you, but you are the one who needs to try to help yourself by monitoring your reactions and knowing your own body. My daughter gets severely depressed when she is prescribed certain medications. Rather than argue with doctors who say they have never heard of this type of reaction, we just tell them that she is allergic - no arguments, they prescribe something else.
