I find this really weird. My doc says it's normal for those who have ADHD... my caffeine intake is quite a lot. I can down 3 monster zero sugar energy drinks and just be awake and not buzzing.

This is with my Concerta in me too.

Is this weird or just the ADHD experience?

Not all stimulants work the same. Otherwise ADHD-targeted drugs wouldn't even need to exist and we could all just do meth or coke or whatever.

Coffee doesn't make me hyper or energize my brain so I can focus more, it just helps me avoid falling asleep when I'm exhausted.
