My tactic of drinking a fuck ton of coffee to help me write has backfired intensely (hexbear.net)

No. And that isn't a blanket case, it does affect some with ADHD, but does often work differently.

Yeah it's of course an oversimplification, but with a sample size of approximately 5 all of the people I know with ADHD told me that coffee/energy only calms them down

Hello! I have ADHD and I can confirm that it just makes my ADHD more intense.

I mean stimulants are what they give you to treat ADHD. Adderall, Vyvanse etc.

Many undiagnosed adhd people self medicate with smoking and coffee.

In my experience caffeine does help, but not as much. I find tea to be better than coffee.

Nicotine was honestly the most effective outside of controlled substances, but a nasty habit so I gave it up.
