Neurotypicals vs ADHDers after drinking coffee

Ever notice that caffeine makes you feel… well, not awake? This is a common paradox for many with ADHD. While caffeine is a stimulant for most, it can have a different effect on our brains, which often have lower levels of key neurotransmitters like dopamine. Instead of over-stimulating an already buzzing mind, caffeine can help regulate brain activity to a more manageable level.
