I got my meds today, concerta 36 mg today and i feel like i am sitting for an exam. Mild trembles, hyper-aware and inability to sit still. Like a weaker version of caffeine for me.

From what i have seen online, caffeine, for alot of adhd ppl, works similarly to adhd meds, helping them focus. For me, it worsens my adhd, making me hyperactivity, hyper-aware and very trembles. I sort of addicted to it for 2 months or so. Drinking 4 to 5 cups a day.

Thinking about it now, this could be caffeine withdrawal rather than the meds. Either way, has anyone had similar experience?

    I’m sure coffee enthusiasts would accuse me of not liking the taste of coffee either lmao, I drink my espresso in a ratio of ~30% espresso 70% half and half. I do like the taste of coffee but especially so in combination with lots of cream and sugar, or ice cream. I’m very sensitive to caffeine though and even with decaf I can feel the remaining few percent of caffeine which still ruins my sleep if I have it after noon and it still makes me a tad bit jittery. Nowhere near as bad as full caf though.
