Adhd & caffeine #adhd #adhdbrain #mentalhealth

No joke if I can't sleep I will have a coffee or a redbull

[tmac]

Lol! That is how I was diagnosed. I told her among other things I use coffee to fall asleep. She was like, okay here is your prescription, dont collect $200, don't pass GO, take yourself straight to the pharmacy😂

I actually have ADHD but caffeine makes me even more hyper. So it’s not the same for everyone with ADHD

If I don't have caffeine for a week or two a coffee will keep me awake from breakfast to 10pm. But my tolerance builds so quickly, like now after a month of everyday caffeine I just woke up late for work, even though I got up 90 minutes beforehand and chugged a half litre of monster energy, fell asleep maybe half an hour after.

I’ve tried to drink coffee when studying late at night (I try to gaslight myself into thinking it works) but it didn’t help at all😂

[CitricParadox]

This is true, i used to drink energetic drinks and it never really boosted me, atleast coffee just woke me up a lil more but made me pretty sleepy at 1PM

I found this out when I was doing paintball and I drunk a caffeine drink and hour later I was so tired

[msmimichi]

...yeah I drink it for the taste and lie to myself that it helps

[DivineLightPaladin]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE LOL 😳 catch me napping on the caffeine

[RadRedAnimator]

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I literally get all crash and no stimulation. Caffeine actually depresses me severely for the day. I end up with suicidal ideation but realize it's because I had too much caffeine. I used to drink so much caffeine as a high schooler (monster energy drinks and venti mocha frappucinos from Starbucks almost everyday). Never did much for me. Now that I have ADHD, it makes sense

[CheriLDN]

This is true, also makes you go to the loo too, gastor problems are surely related to adhd aswell as autism.

Man this is so accurate..i remember in my teenage( i was only diagnosed recently at 29) my dad would make me a coffee at midnight during my exams..i would drink it up and fall asleep 😂now i understand

[Localguineapighub]

As a person with ADHD
I can say
This is true

[mikeyjdoogan]

I had no idea this happened to other ppl or that it was because of my add. I was diagnosed before preschool

[nekoq]

This is why my doctor told my mom if she doesn't wanna be a parent when I'm hyper from the ADHD to give me coffee

[leehammer]

I think I'll have ADHD but caffeine just kind of makes me think way more which definitely doesn't help

[Sb_random]

I might have a bit adhd bc I drank 2 cups of coffee and nothing really happened, I even got a bit sleepy

[Downsyndromecat]

Not for me, I have diagnosed adhd since I was 8 and it gives me anxiety and way too stimulating

[The_man_that_enjoys_green]

I don’t have adhd (atleast I think) but this happens to me
