Jokes on you, my ADHD makes caffeine do absolutely nothing to me. I can drink two energy drinks and then take a nap.
I nap regularly anymore and drink a lot of coffee. Now this has me questioning if I have ADHD, yet my OCD keeps me in check.
Caffeine is so relaxing, you get funny looks if you doze off at work after chugging an energy drink tho
I quit caffeine a month ago (my neurologist is convinced my redbull "addiction" was causing the migraines I've been having since I was 6) and it's no skin off my back to quit for 6 months to prove him wrong.
Only the insomnia!
I used to have a red bull right before bed to help me relax and sleep soundly, now I've got nothing (weed makes me want to clean my house then throw up)
I haven't had any caffeine cravings, but I have started hallucinating from the sleep deprivation. I was told caffeine withdrawals usually only last 2 weeks so I'm wondering if this is just my natural sleep cycle shining through.
I've got a sublingual melatonin tincture that I need to remember to use because it helps somewhat, but despite multiple alarms and post it notes near my bed I completely forget I have it as an option.
