and it reads that this medication began at around the same time as you started on nicotine again.
No, there was at least a few months between these two events. I should’ve phrased it better.
Do you think perhaps you are associating the effects of the ADHD treatment to nicotine use?
No. They’re wildly different in feel. I can tell when my meds wear off and when they kick in most days. That’s why I like having both.
i personally experienced some sticky phlegm and trouble coughing this up
This is far more likely due to the fact you used to smoke. I have anecdotally heard of some people who have issues with feeling like their throat is irritated, but they usually have crazy setups, like 300w 4-coil 0.24ohm temple RDAs with 1.5mg nic on a noisy cricket II in series or w/e. I have a hunch that the reason for it. Those were fun AF but I wouldn’t use it long term, it’s the equivalent of thinking that because a bar of chocolate doesn’t hurt you, then neither can a giant dump truck.
I’ve long switched to the rechargable elfbars with high strength (relatively) nic salts and low vapour volume which I’ve had no issues with.
and the dependance on the nicotine made me extremely irritable and unable to concentrate until i vaped
That’s true for sure. If I know I’m not gonna be able to vape I just use nicotine patches, I have no psychological addiction to vaping itself, only a physiological dependency on nicotine, if the patches match my nicotine intake levels, then I tend to forget vaping is even a thing at all haha.
Also it takes longer than a few months to break a nicotine addiction.
Yes, in terms of cravings, and those did pass actually, but in terms of such acute withdrawal effects? Nah - something is definitely going on there that wasn’t just pure withdrawals.
As i said i have no idea about your personal situation.

You do now that I wrote it out :)
Either way, have a good day!
