similarily if you pop 200mg of caffeine and fall asleep that might be a slight indication that you have adhd
Just sounds like caffeine addiction. I used to be able to drinks pot of coffee and then go to sleep. Then health issues caused me to give up all caffeine for several years and now if I have half a cup im wired for hours...
True, but I never drink coffee and could drink one right now and go sleep. The same when I was prescribed methylphenidate, straight to sleep. A non ADHD brain would be going 100mph.
Knowing that, this might be the best evidence that I am not ADHD I've heard, lol.
AuDHD is a big bag of symptoms that everyone pulls from a random amount of times, it's perfectly possible to pull enough symptoms to get diagnosed with ADHD yet simply not have gotten the one that makes caffeine work differently on you.
I wouldn’t take mine or others experiences as the norm, if you’re diagnosed I would discuss with your psychologist to be sure either way.
You are 100% right, and I know it... But I'm bad at taking care of health stuff, going to doctors, etc... I'll try, that's the best I can say. :)
