Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

I was clearing three, sometimes even four Rockstars per day not too long ago. Just got to where they didn't even affect me much, and cracking open fresh ones throughout the day just made me feel alert and good. I got it back down to just one every morning around 5 or 6am, with maybe a second in the afternoon once per week -- usually on a Saturday or Sunday when running errands and trying to survive parenthood. I'm in my late-thirties now, and need to find an effective alternative, but coffee makes me feel poisoned.. almost like there's toxic metals coursing through my veins.

Tried pairing coffee with taurine to counteract the negative side-effects of the caffeine, but it doesn't work quite as well without whatever witch's brew they throw in with it in energy drinks.

I love redbull and I have Gamersupps powder that is basically energy drink in a powder. It's a good replacement for when I don't have a redbull handy. Very very similar effect on my body

Try caffeine pills instead of coffee.

Caffeine pills gave me heart arrhythmia for like 2 months. I had to wear a monitor and everything.

Pill form is so much more potent, and I was splitting them, effectively bypassing the coating that helps it dissolve slowly. Your body is just not meant to absorb 150mg of caffeine instantaneously. Crazy I know.
