> Does anyone know if smoking can enhance or decrease the effects of any ADs. If so which ones?
---------------------I would wager that it augments the actions of your AD. Smoking, iirc, causes dopamine release, which should elevate mood. It's also why you feel so crappy when you quit. Just like your brain gets used to the extra serotonin and goes into withdrawl when you quit certain ADs, your brain experiences a lower level of dopamine after quitting cigarettes.
Everyone reacts differently, though. I've smoked on and off for quite a while without really getting hooked.
