Yup, I used caffeine and alcohol for years to deal with ADHD symptoms and only got diagnosed recently. Now, I can't even have them, for medical reasons. Anyway

Yup, I used caffeine and alcohol for years to deal with ADHD symptoms and only got diagnosed recently. Now, I can't even have them, for medical reasons. Anyway, maybe you have ADHD lol, and caffeine is not a particularly good substance for the condition (not the worst, but it has a bad stress-to-focus ratio, IME, and Drs seemed to confirm this)... maybe it's better than long term nicotine (although in the short term nicotine can be very helpful). Basically, I'm experiencing the same as you. Without the chems I'm fucked. Btw, stimulant medication won't necessarily disrupt your sleep; it's also not a silver bullet.
