I smoked like 7 cigarettes during my break and I was extremely sociable when I came back, upbeat mood, comedic, flirtatious, laughing. then as if I had bipolar disorder my affect regressed to quiet and solemn and reserved. I feel like the flood of dopamine counteracted the zombifying dopamine lowering effect of the antipsychotics. Anyone experience something similar?

Yup, nicotine does that. Too bad the effect is short lived.
If I go the grocery store or just have a coffee at a cafe, I always pop Nicorette. Prevents me from appearing antsy and anxious.
If I am writing poetry or reading a book, it also helps me concentrate as well.
Gotta love nicotine

How about all the other crap that goes into a cigarette and how it can negatively affect health?
