Nicotine can interact with Concerta (methylphenidate) by potentially increasing its stimulating effects, which may lead to heightened side effects such as increased heart rate, anxiety, or insomnia. Both substances can impact dopamine levels, possibly altering the effectiveness of Concerta in managing ADHD symptoms. Additionally, nicotine may affect the metabolism of Concerta, potentially leading to variations in drug levels in the body. It's important for individuals using both substances to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

How does nicotine affect those with ADHD?

Individuals with ADHD suffer from bad impulses, poor concentration, and have a hard time remaining still. Nicotine is stimulant like most ADHD medications. In fact, research has proven that individuals with ADHD more likely to try smoking at a younger age and more likely to transition into a full-time smoker. Nicotine like amphetamine (Dexedrine, Adderall) or methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin) causes a release of dopamine and reduces the breakdown of other neurotransmitters in the brain. This causes nicotine to be more rewarding to those with ADHD due to its calming effects.
