Comment by upupupandaway 2 years ago I am confused by this post. Aren't stimulants the most common medication prescribed for ADHD? 2 comments upupupandaway Reply Jensson 2 years ago Coffee is the wrong kind of stimulant, it is a band aid. It is like eating sugar to try to dampen cravings for protein, causes you to overeat sugar. viraptor 2 years ago Yes, but they also can have side effects, some worse than dealing with ADHD. There are various non-stimulants like Atomoxetine which are also approved for ADHD and work for some that can't use the stimulants safely.
