I used to drink a pot of coffee before lunch and another few cups after. I've cut way back since I got my Adderall prescription. Turns out I was self-medicating myself for my undiagnosed ADHD.

I feel better now, and more productive, too.

Thanks for your comment ​🙂​.

Yes, coffee is certainly not a calming thing. And what do you drink now to replace it, tea?

Well, I still drink a little coffee, and a little green chai. Sometimes rooibos chai. Occasionally another herbal tea. But my point was that the Adderall provides the stimulant effect that I once needed coffee to provide. Now I don't need coffee to function, I can just drink it because I like it.
