I am on saphris 5mg. Could I smoke a cigar occasionally on it? Or will it mess with the metabolization of pill?

medications are different for everyone and medication reactions are different for everyone, I know some that can smoke cigarettes, cigars and what have you and I know others that cant on this same meds. therefore my suggestion is talk with your treatment providers. they will be able to look at your individualized treatment plans, history, reactions and let you know whether its safe for you or not.

You probably can smoke a cigar occasionally if you want to and it won't make any difference as far as the drug goes. However, it's been said a million times but I will say it again. Smoking will kill you so I hope you decide not to do it.

I didn't know one was not supposed to smoke while taking an anti=psychotic. I was taking one as an attempt to help my depression since it would seem typical anti-depressants do not help and I smoked cigarettes while taking it and did not notice any interactions between the two.

It is probably best the OP checks with their doctor about their specific medication since I doubt anyone here is an expert...Like me I imagine most others here can only offer personal experience and whatever knowledge as limited as it may be on the topic.

What my doc said is that habitual smoking interferes with the effect of SSRIs but not so much other psych meds, but also that it had to be a habit, not a once in a while thing.
