Depends on dosage and form (pills/coffee/energy drinks)

It doesn’t make me sleepy but it doesn’t wake me up either.

coffee does but energy drinks (redbull exempt) dont, they give me a lot of energy :D

Yeah, either this but usually I assumed it's because of sugar. Could be both

Yes, but maybe caffeine has calming effect for ADHDers. I don't know. But I really feel sleepy and head foggy after drinking coffee.

Yeah, many people claim that it has opposite effect for people with ADHD

It depends on the dosage and the time of day, but for example one Espresso after lunch puts me right out 😅🤷🏼‍♂️
