Caffeine & ADD/ADHD - Makes you tired?

>>It has been proven that activity levels in parts of the brain in ADHD adults and non ADHD is different. And then scans were done after administering things like caffeine, concerta adderal and other ADHD meds and the results were reversed (Non adhd now had activity where the adhd people had activity in the first test) It was also proven that ADHD adults typically have higher heart rates.>>

I spent 2 years working in a psychology lab where one of my projects involved research into AD(H)D. The evidence is far more ambiguous than you suggest.

I wasnt implying that.

And yeah, I did fake the "disorder" so I could get the prescription. Im sure Ive got it to a certain extent... I cant focus, even now.

Im trying to avoid using stims other than caffeine to help me though.

ok i dont want to to get in any argument or anything, and im on ether so give me that advatnage;

i'm going to have to diagnose you as ADHD (;) i'm just agreeing with what another MD already said, anyway...)
so you're obviously adhd, and i am glad youve choose not to use drugs to succeed in life :)
sadily, for sum, we (ie those of us with adhd) need Amphs to succeed in life :(
