Coffee doesn't work on me, is it an ADHD thing?

Ummmmm... I just wanna point out that caffeine naps is a term.

for me it’s kind of on and off. I feel like recently, coffee hasn’t been working at all… so maybe I need something stronger? or who knows maybe it’s because I’m so sleep deprived haha. but yeah a lot of people with adhd apparently don’t get the coffee buzz.

My mom and I both struggle to finish a cup of coffee because I swear to God caffeine is just a sedative to my body. Benadryl, on the other hand, keeps us awake for days. This is apparently very common in ADHD, which definitely tracks with my family history

It's the same for me too. Sometimes I'll drink a cup of coffee before bed 😂

YES! That’s very normal for adhd! My mom would give me stuff with caffeine when I was a kid to calm me down, usually it changes after puberty but it can sometimes stay the same!
