For those of you who use meds, in particular methylphenidate:

Do you consume caffeine? What's your experience been with it?

I take methylphenidate and drink a lot of caffeine. I talked to my psychiatrist and she said caffeine effects ADHDers differently and to keep an eye on your intake but shouldn't be a problem.

That's what I was told. I'm not a doctor and don't even play one on TV. Everyone's body chemistry is different as well.

What's even stranger is that I can drink hi-caff beverages before going to bed and sleep like a baby. Go figure!
