Anecdata of one here-
Non-smoker, originally tried nicotine vapes as an alternative to caffeine which I tend to overuse.
Not very effective for me as I seem to have a paradoxical reaction to it that makes me want to take a nap for 5-10 minutes after inhaling, but I found the sensation was pleasurable when combined with cannabis edibles so I kept the vape around.
Absolutely zero physical addiction. I can and have stopped using the vape cold turkey for weeks or months at a time and I felt no withdrawal at all. At the present moment I haven't used it in months.
- waveBidder 3y agoapparently stimulants behaving like depressants is something that may be associated with ADHD, so you may want to visit a psychiatrist.
- hirvi74 3y agoI believe that is more dose dependent than ADHD dependent. I would imagine if you gave someone with ADHD enough stimulants, then that reaction would reverse. People commonly believe that stimulants affect people with ADHD differently than non-ADHD people, but I have never seen any research to back that up. It's merely just anecdotes, and I honestly think stimulants, like anything, just affect people differently regardless of ADHD or not. If anyone has data either way, I would love to see it.
