I try to stay away from the stuff all together, occasionally I'll have some tea in the morning.
And I do drink these once in a blue moon if I'm working 3rd shift but not on the 3rd shift sleep schedule.
Does the 5 hour Energy thing work?

I learned a long time ago that energy drinks, coffee, and soda don't get the job done. I just skip right to adderall when I need a quick pick me up.
I usually never feel affect of some caffeine drink. The only time I felt the kick was the other weekend. I was extremely tired at work (I could have fallen asleep standing up) so I grabbed an energy drink and well, drank it. I actually wasn't tired any more. So I guess the only time it works on me is if I'm extremely tired.
If caffeine is a stimulant to you, don't ever try a real stimulant. Something like Adderall, which indirectly increases adrenalin and dopamine, would do some serious damage.
Caffeine is more known for it's ability to trick the body into not thinking it's sleepy. It does this by binding to this thing:

To all of you that get a rush from sugar, it's either in your head or you have diabetes or insulin resistance. Eat a bit healthier or you're going to have serious health problems down the road.

I feel like punching people in the cafe if I drink coffee, so I never drink it. It has like 10 times the effect it seems to have on others.
Caffeine probably will make you sleepy if you're taking certain medications. Any medicine that's a stimulant and is removed from the body through urine is going to have a shorter half life if you consume a diuretic, like caffeine.
So any of your ADDers taking adderall, vyvanse, or methylphenidate probably should avoid caffeine as much as possible.

ok I had Starbucks at 12 hours ago and the caffeine is still at work. My eyes are heavy and my body is tired, but my mind is in that state of awake that is unique to caffeine consumption. I want to go to sleep but I cant. I even got shitty sleep last night (drank) but I know I wont be able to doze off until atleast 4
caffeine doesn't wake me up, and I can never understand that hyperactive thing that happens to kids or ...Fry in Futurama.
But I AM probably addicted to it. I will crave red bulls (don't like coffee though) or similar energy drinks and drinking them kind of relaxes me, I prefer to start the day off with one, though if I don't its not like I'll get cranky the way people crave cigarettes.
However I tried some roasted coffee beans in dark chocolate and after a couple of those my body felt really warm, I think if I had a bunch of those I'd go hyper. Must try it one day.

Oh and weak... sauce?
Caffeine has a huge effect on me, but I run a very low carb diet (<30g/day 6 days/week) and from what I've read, that makes a big difference. When I ate "normally" caffeine didn't have much effect. Now I get heart palpitations off of 2 cups of coffee and I have to watch my intake.
I think I have a problem, I stay away from caffiene as much as I can, no soda coffee tea or anything, not by a concious decision I just don't like it.
You'd think when I do have the occasional coffee the caffeine would hit me like a freight train, but it just usually makes me sleepy.
I have weird reactions to lots of foods though, nothing like allergies or anything, maybe I'm just weird?
