I find this really weird. My doc says it's normal for those who have ADHD... my caffeine intake is quite a lot. I can down 3 monster zero sugar energy drinks and just be awake and not buzzing.

This is with my Concerta in me too.

Is this weird or just the ADHD experience?

I only take caffeine for ADHD. I think it's important to make sure it's a set amount of milligrams. Don't be drinking 3 Monster energy drinks one day, and then 1 the next day, or you may find yourself unfocused, tired, whatever. Or if you start increasing your intake, you might establish some new normal, and that might be bad for side effects.
