nicotine patches and adhd

Posted by appadoo on October 3, 2004, at 17:58:29

Do the nicotine patches held adults with adhd.
I am currently on 54mg concerta and at times I think its not working maybe if I supplement it
with the nicotine patches it might help somewhat.
Has anybody tried the patches and if so has their concerntration improved at all.
thanks

There have been quite a few trials that show that there is a positive effect of nicotine on ADHD.

the thing is you build up tolerance to nicotine very quickly. so you should not make it an everyday thing.

I tried without success. It caused to me horrible nausea so I had to stop.
