The effects of caffeine on ADHD remain largely anecdotal. The stimulant calms some people, while increasing anxiety in others. However, many with ADHD, (and some studies) report light to moderate caffeine use as a way to help boost focus and concentration.
I had not heard of this phenomenon until today, when my daughter’s guidance counselor mentioned it. Apparently, there are other children in her school that take a “coffee” break around lunch . My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at 6, while I was reluctant to accept her diagnosis at first , I eventually caved to her doctor’s recommendation for 5mg of adderall and the difference was amazing. Not only did her school work improve, but her mental state improved drastically.
Within 6 months she had lost 10 pounds and we were fighting to get her to eat at all, so we switched her to straterra, which led to a depression and moodiness I had never seen in my child before. So now, at 10, she is struggling to keep up without any medicine, but her grades are still failing, and she’s constantly distracted in class. Her confidence has taken such a hit just from the straterra debacle alone, we can’t seem to help her out of this funk.
