For me, to have a meaningful effect on ADHD, I have to drink so much coffee (or other caffeinated beverages) that I have heart palpitations.

That's one of the advantages of the prescribed stimulants; they're effective at doses that have no physical side effects.

I've been using caffeine as stimulant since early teens, to try and help with focus, but it's been really hard to avoid over-stimulating.
