ADHD Medication and Smoking

"I have been taking stimulant since last year, and notice an increased desire to smoke."

by Larry Silver, M.D.


I do not know of any research that suggests that the use of a long-acting stimulant medication increases the desire to smoke. If you are curious, though, you can ask the doctor who prescribed it to contact the manufacturer. The company's professionals can do a literature search and let you know.
