Caffeine makes me sleepy. :(

Same... It's like 20 minutes of focus and then I need a nap 🤷‍♀️ When I was younger, I'd just inhale energy drinks, but the crashes just kept coming faster and faster.

I get sleepy at around noon no matter what i do. I have medication but it doesn't do shit anymore. I need a nap.

The ONLY thing that works is if I'm either really busy or really upset. That is the only way i don't feel tired. 😩

Have you tried taking a break from your medication to reset? Mine even recommends doing that every now and then in the leaflet.

Just make sure not to simply stop taking it, and talk to your doctor first.

I live by the rule of 200 mg to go slow, 400 mg to go fast.

Yeah, that first pot of coffee is just for lulz and keeps me just coherent long enough for my Adderall to kick in.

Same! But espresso and Ritalin

It did this for me until I hit 30, then it just made me up up up and not hungry, now past 50 it feels smooth and I can eat but can't have it in the evening because it will keep me from getting sleepy!
