    Wait, really? I've also never felt anything from caffeine or honestly any drug. How does that work?

      Well for caffine specifically people with adhd tend to feel relaxed by it. There there other situations it could be depending on thr drug and what neurotransmitters are involved. There are a few catagories of situation that affect dopamine specifically sondepening on the substance that could also be like that.

          i've become addicted enough to caffeine that if I go without it I get intense headaches. So if I'm having trouble falling asleep, paradoxically a small amount of caffeine helps because it makes the headache go away.

          Bestie, are you happy with your life otherwise? Cause we could have a conversation. But if you are doing fine there is no need.

        Stimulants affect about 10% of the population with an opposite effect, but I'm not entirely sure it is always with ADHD. My meds and caffeine definitely wake me up, but I also definitely have ADHD lol

        Relaxed and/or more focused. It usually doesn't last very long, unfortunately, and you still build up tolerance. And then get all of the withdrawal symptoms if you stop chugging coffee/caffeinated soda/whatever for a day or two.

        Painkillers, alcohol, sleeping pills, muscle relaxants, etc seem to have no effect on me unless I take far too much. Never tried any recreational drugs
