As a pharmacist, I encourage you to avoid e-cigarettes during treatment, or consult your attending physician. Smoking e-cigarettes can affect the metabolism of certain medications, including Alventa (venlafaxine) and Trittico (trazodone), especially since they contain nicotine.
Nicotine can speed up the action of liver enzymes, which potentially reduces the effectiveness of antidepressants. In addition, nicotine itself can aggravate anxiety and depressive symptoms. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) can also affect the cardiovascular system, and Trittico has the potential to cause side effects on the heart and circulatory system. It is also worth monitoring possible changes in the effects of drugs or the appearance of side effects.
