Some there but no bingo. I thought most people with ADHD don't get much out of coffee though. I know I avoid it cos it tastes bad and makes me sleepy.

Some people self medicate with caffeine, especially if it's combined with another stimulant like nicotine, chocolate, or sudafed. That used to be me before diagnosis. I'm also paying for it with stomach and bladder problems.

I don't get sleepy from coffee unless I'm dehydrated. Other stimulants can make me sleepy, but I think caffeine causes too much anxiety for that.

Oh, that makes sense. Sorry to hear about your issues. It really sucks when you can't find what you need and have to self medicate.
