    Idk bro I have adhd and have taken stimulants for over 5 years now. These days I take less than when I started, and I sometimes take weeks off by accident. I’m more addicted to caffeine than dexedrine lol.

      If you have ADHD and you drink coffee, there’s a good chance you are inadvertently doing the same thing as the medication. I don’t take medication for my ADHD anymore, I just drink a cup of coffee in the morning and then one in the evening, the caffeine calms me down and acts the same as if I took the medication. It’s weird that stimulants work that way but it’s cheaper then concerta

          Sure that works for me, but last time I tried medicating with caffeine I ended downing monsters basically constantly. I even just fell asleep a few times so its definitely not like I’m being sped up. If u think the issue is just with monster and not caffeine, whenever I used coffee, well shit idk how much I drank but atleast a few litres sized bottles a day. With just good ole stimulants 1 pill has me set for the day.

          FTFY.
