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

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

I am on lisdexamfetamine and I like my morning coffee. I feel like it wakes me up faster (ie caffeine addiction needs are met) but I think that is largely psychosomatic. I have used decaf and it’s just fine but I feel a little groggy a little longer.

I try to minimize my caffeine consumption. Being on two types of stimulants isn’t great for the body. I absolutely do not consume caffeine after noon in any format, not that I’m a big fan of Cola etc.
