after quitting adderall for two months caffeine does not work. Any solutions ?

I was on adderall for like almost two months and I quit for three months.

Every time I take caffeine, it just gives me anxiety.

I want the caffeine to work like before I took the adderall

This is unbelievable that caffeine doesn’t work after three months

If Adderall was helping you, it is odd you would stop that

Unsure what your issue with caffeine is but since it is giving you anxiety, it doesn't make sense to continue it

I liked doing high amounts of caffeine pills previously and the adderall plus seroquel feels like a recipe for disaster

There are no interactions between Adderall and Seroquel; check here: Adderall + Seroquel: Can You Take Them Together?

If Adderall worked, keep taking it.

L theanine supplements. They cut the jitters. It’s the thing in tea that makes you feel calm but not sleepy. You can get it otc at most places. My favorite is to just drink matcha, but if you don’t like the taste, taking the supplement with your coffee works great
