I've been diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers. I'm not sure if the ADHD diagnosis is accurate, as I am no longer hyper (I was when I was a kid). I have used numerous stimulants, including caffeine, adrafinil (absolutely no effect with this), and Adderall. None of these seemed to give me any sort of noticeable energy increase 99% of the time, but when they do it's very strong.I have used 5 hour energy a few times, mostly with little to no effect. However, one time I did get a very serious heart rate increase, and felt extremely stimulated. After a while it got out of control, and I had to go to the doctor. He said I was dehydrated and I drank a lot of water.
Also, I have consumed monster energy numerous times, but again only noticed an energy increase once. This was while playing a first person shooter video game. I drank 2 cans (normal size) and noticed a very intense energy increase, and started playing out of my mind. The first game after noticing the increase of energy, I beat my record for most kills in one game. The next few games were the same, and I got more kills each game than the last, before coming down and playing like normal again.
As a kid, I took Adderall and it helped a bit with school. I am currently on Adderall again (prescribed by a doctor) after being off of it for many years. I have taken it for the first time about 2 hours ago (took 40mg of XR, twice my prescribed dose as I expected nothing from it and don't plan on taking it daily), and notice some slight stimulation, but nothing major. Some light headedness, small body load/tingly feeling, possibly slight heart rate increase (didn't test before so can't confirm), some couch lock possibly? Also, I do not notice any increase in motivation or drive to be more productive, or anything of the sort. May play some FPS games soon to see if there's any difference there.
I am very confused as to why only certain stims work for me, and why they only work very rarely. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!
TL;DR I am diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers and stimulants usually do next to nothing for me, but on 2 occasions with energy drinks they effected me very strongly.
