Why is it so hard to get into peoples heads that one of the most common symptoms of ADHD is abnormal reaction to stimulants?
I remember when I used to pull all-nighters, I came to think of caffeine as a trap. If I was on 18+hrs of no sleep, 1 energy drink and I'd be passe out in 10 minutes.
The thing that convinced me my ADHD diagnosis was correct was taking my prescription stimulant and then taking a nap. See also coffee: I've found no correlation between my last cup of the day and when I get to sleep. I'm also incapable of drinking enough coffee to make me jittery, not even when my office had an all-you-can-drink Keurig stand.
