That's factually false. Its main mechanism of action is adenosine antagonism, but it does cause a rise of blood adrenaline, as well as a release dopamine and norepinephrine to a handful of systems in the brain.

It's true that it doesn't improve mental acuity, and can leave you in an exhausted-but-anxious state, but saying it doesn't actually stimulate you or wake you up is incorrect.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
