Sunifiram and nicotine

I read somewhere that nicotine is an acetylcholine agonist. I didn't feel good when I tried sunifiram and smoked cigarettes. Does acetylcholine agonist mean that it shouldn't be used with sunifiram?

Looks like you might be right. I didn't think supplementation would increase extracellular glutamate significantly, but it seems it might. Pair that with sunifiram's AMPA binding, and you could definitely have an issue.
