text: can i use the nicotine patch while taking adderall?   what is the brand name for adderall? add details please.   edit: i looked up adderall by typing it into my yahoo search bar. it has a site that you can look up drug interactions and side effects.  i didn't find anything in regard to nicotine or the patch.   however it is always best to consult a pharmacist,er, or your physician rather than rely on the info from the internet.  this medication id highly habit forming and has some very serious side effects associated with it. from reading the info provided here,i would strongly recommend not using the patch or nicotine. this is my opinion based on the information i read about this med though. knowing what it is used for and the consequences of the med itself,i would suggest that you not use the patch or nicotine;even if it is only until you're able to reach your physician.  ~z~
