Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 8 records that name Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

8 studies naming Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Amphetamine and nicotine reduce sucrose self-administration independent of sex.

European journal of pharmacology · 2026 · PMID 41864537

Animal study

“The effects of both amphetamine and nicotine did not differ by sex for either drug. Overall, these results suggest that the mechanisms mediating the addictive qualities of these drugs and their appetite suppressing effects may be distinct and therefore could be a potential target for future obesity therapeutics.”

Fulco et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Amphetamine and Nicotine Reduce Sucrose Self-Administration Independent of Sex.

bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology · 2025 · PMID 40667013

Preprint

“The effects of both amphetamine and nicotine did not differ by sex for either drug. Overall, these results suggest that the mechanisms mediating the addictive qualities of these drugs and their appetite suppressing effects may be distinct and therefore could be a potential target for future obesity therapeutics.”

Fulco et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

The cognitive and behavioral effects of D-amphetamine and nicotine sensitization in adult zebrafish.

Psychopharmacology · 2021 · PMID 33963883

Animal study

“Chronic treatment with AMPH or NIC boosts cognitive performance in adult zebrafish. Cognitive sensitization occurred with both drugs, resulting in enhanced working memory; however, repeat AMPH exposure, following a withdrawal period, resulted in inhibited cognitive flexibility, an effect not evident with repeat NIC exposure.”

Cleal et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript promoter regulated by nicotine in nerve growth factor-treated PC12 cells.

Physiology international · 2019 · PMID 31564117

Animal study

“A nicotine concentration of 50 nM is comparable to brain nicotine levels experienced by chronic smokers over long periods of time. Taken together, these data indicate that nicotine may exert some of its actions through the regulation of CART transcription in the brain.”

Ugur et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Acquisition of nicotine self-administration in amphetamine and phencyclidine models of schizophrenia: A role for stress?

Schizophrenia research · 2018 · PMID 28318841

Animal study

“Secondly, injection stress itself may have been sufficient to induce plastic changes in dopamine and glutamate systems, and these changes enhanced the acquisition and maintenance of nicotine self-administration. Further investigation is needed into the role of stress in the development of nicotine use and dependence, in the aetiology of schizophrenia and in their co-morbidity.”

Fletcher et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Effects of environmental enrichment on d-amphetamine self-administration following nicotine exposure.

Experimental and clinical psychopharmacology · 2017 · PMID 29048188

Animal study

“These findings indicate that environmental enrichment can limit the ability of adolescent nicotine exposure to increase vulnerability to other psychostimulant drugs, such as d-amphetamine. (PsycINFO Database Record”

Stairs et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Nicotine Modifies Corticostriatal Plasticity and Amphetamine Rewarding Behaviors in Mice(1,2,3).

eNeuro · 2016 · PMID 26866057

Research Support, N.I.H., ExtramuralAnimal study

“Together, these results demonstrate that nicotine reduces reward-associated behaviors following repeated amphetamine and modifies the changes in ChIs firing and corticostriatal activity. By returning glutamatergic activity in amphetamine self-administering mice to a more stable and normalized state, nicotine limits the depression of striatal activity in withdrawal and the increase in activity following abstinence and a subsequent drug challenge.”

Storey et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Nicotine in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine, Nicotine, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
