    Clearly we need to be eating 100% chocolate to get 100% energy.

        In my experience it’s a bell curve rather than just a depressant. Most adhd people I know need coffee to wake up in the morning, but crash if they drink too much of it/other caffeine products.

          I have ADHD and have always just needed way more caffeine than most people. I usually have 20omg of caffeine two or three times a day when I’m working. I use those Celcius drink powders: zero calories with an energy blend. Meaningfully less caffeine than that in a serving makes me foggy. Red Bull 90mg of caffeine with sugar is molasses for my soul. I need 200mg caffeine with protein! I start the day with a meal, 200mg caffeine, 200mg CBG, and 300mg Welbutrin XL. I also have low blood pressure, and the caffeine helps me with that when waking up.

    Swap coffee and energy drinks. Energy drinks are def the most braindead of the bunch—I know, I used to buy them.

    Also where is the “100mg adderall” option?

      Considering most people consume coffee, I think you should reconsider

          except with the bonus of the caffeine blocking your adenosine receptors so you dont get any deep sleep to help boost your tiredness

        And it is our own fault because of unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction. Nonetheless.

          Bro, there was so much unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction that I became physically and sexually burnt out by the time we achieved it. My wife and I didn’t have sex again until my daughter was like 10 months old, and it the frequency only began to normalize over the course of another year or so - maybe longer. I remember we were worried for a bit that it was a bad sign for our marriage or something, especially since it was primarily me who was struggling to even want to, but then suddenly my daughter started sleeping through the night and my wife and I started banging again. Completely restored my sex drive. I’m certainly not fucking like I’m in my twenties anymore, but I’m relieved that unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction didn’t permanently kill my boner. Unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction is a blessing at first, but be wary, travelers…

      Im that way. I had a worker say I was like a lion. I can be intense and active for quite a few hours but I can only keep it up so long and then I lose it and its all fatigue.

    This is mostly accurate. (Except for the fact that coffee and energy drinks need to be switched.) I only need to drink coffee in the morning if I can’t sleep properly. On a regular day, I only drink some in the afternoon, and that’s also because I just like drinking coffee.
