To me they only made me incredibly nervous or incredibly sad, i think I might have been misdiagnosed and I'm actually autistic maybe
Being both autistic and having ADHD is very common, unsure bow accurate it is but I've heard the figure of 80% comorbidity (I have both). Its also possible you haven't the meds that work best for you.
(Sorry if you already know all this and I'm reading too far into a flippant remark)
Nervousness is normal for caffeine. Sadness is weird since caffeine triggers dopamine
