My doctor is going to prescribe me Vyvanse (for my ADD) soon; in the midst of all my research on it, I noticed a lot of articles and forums relating to smoking cigarettes while taking Vyvanse that concerned me as I am already a heavy smoker; and the information is very jumbled.
So my first question is:
What are the dangers, risks, complications, and negative effects of smoking cigarettes while taking Vyvanse or similar medications?
And my second question is:
Why do people (who are already smokers) tend to smoke more cigarettes when taking medications like Vyvanse? I've noticed among my research that this is a VERY frequent side effect; I'm extremely curious why this happens.
Being a pack-a-day chain smoker, both questions are very important to me since I don't want to risk my health anymore than the large damage I do to myself just soley from smoking cigarettes; and bad reactions or increased amount would definitely do just that.
Any help on either/both of these questions is appreciated, preferably from experience or medical knowledge. If doing online research, please try your best to be accurate.
Thank you in advance.
