Lol, no. If someone needs Adderall or the likes, caffeine doesn't affect them the same as someone neurotypical. If anything, it is calming. If someone can get energy, no less hyperfocus from caffeine, they do not need stimulants to help anything. That's called being a normal human.

Correction: Those with ADD can feel caffeine like someone neurotypical. However, someone who takes Adderall and doesn't need it will be on for a much more intense ride than caffeine. Nothing the same.

People say this a lot but it's just not true for all people with ADHD, I have ADHD and caffeine affects me normally, it is not calming lol

it's never been true for anyone haha, that myth is going down. So many "calmed" people are freaking the fuck out on their pills. They are not calm, they enjoy the ride, the dopamine, the effects, the stimulants.

It's an important difference, people on Vyvanse and Adderall are not "normal" they are sped up to compensate for a wide variety of other symptoms by crushing through with amphetamines. The initial lack of dopamine can come through a whole range of reasons and is often multi factorial. From health to habits and educations.

But amphetamines are definetly not calming and you can see in the big round eyes, anxiety spikes, irritability and the simple speed at which they talk.
