For people with ADHD, your brain is typically starved for stimulation, so caffeine actually helps quiet your brain and relax you. So it doesn’t make you tired, but it makes you feel the same as if you’re tired.
ADHD medication stimulates your frontal lobe, which then is able to essentially have more power to hit the brakes on the rest of the brain. You are then able to focus more on the things you want to focus on, instead of… Everything
What is this based on? From person experience caffeine has the complete opposite effect that you’re claiming it has. With ADHD there is an issue with dopamine. Caffeine works completely differently
