Drink decaf and you may have to deal with being addicted to caffine as you have been using caffine to treat your ADD. This is very common with ADD, I did it for years b4 I knew I had ADD and was up to 12+ diet cokes a day....needless to say I was eating a hole in my GI tract. I had to reduce the intake of caffine over a 1 week period.

Thanks for the info... I called my pharmacist and she told me about the heart and BP problems with mixing the two. As far as the childbearing age thing goes, I've already beared all I am going to, or I wouldnt be on Adderall! I hope women know what it can do to an unborn baby... amphetamines are nasty! They have certainly been a god send to me, though!
