    It's strange but I don't get a sugar high at all, never have. I never get a buzz from caffeine either. My son is the same. We both have ADHD & you would assume that it would send us up & over.... but nope... not even a hint of a buzz or high ....


    I think I'm missing out.
    Lol, for most people that know about ADHD, wouldn't assume such things. Since most ADHD drugs are actually stimulants for normal people, I figure the opposite could be said about caffeine. It probably calms you down, instead of hypes you up. I tried an adderall onece and it had me climbing the walls. But trust me, you're not missing anything from a sugar high, except a sugar crash, and those suck.

    Beat me to it! Caffeine is supposed to help calm down people with ADHD...my son has it (I suspect I do too), he hates coffee though, but other things help!

    I usually deal with sugar highs by running around in circles, doing jumping jacks, basically any sort of intense, but gleeful cardio. It's the only time I can be motivated to do cardio voluntarily. :)

    This is interesting-- I am calmed by caffeine and sugar doesn't seem to affect me, but I don't think I have ADHD. Maybe I do and I just never realized it. :)
