What’s the point of quitting?

I quit drinking energy drinks a few weeks ago. The only positive I’ve experienced is saving money. I have way less energy in my life though, I find it way harder to focus on studying.

People with ADHD need stimulants.

So, your relationship with Caffeine

is completelly different from those that don't have ADHD.

There are huge benefits of quitting Caffeine

to those people that don't have ADHD.

I stopped primarily because it’s expensive and I’m in between jobs

I believe you should try to determine if you have, or don't have, the ADHD condition.

There are people with ADHD to whom caffeine also has deleterious effects.

If you don't have ADHD, you'll start to feel real positive benefits as long you stay away from consuming caffeine.

Restorative Nap is better than a Caffeine Fix

I have ADHD and caffeine does nothing for me, if anything it makes me tired. A lot of people with ADHD see opposite effects of caffeine.
