really all depends on the dose you are taking. You should not drink anything with caffeine. The results of the drug should become very evident within the first few days. The maximum dose is 40mg and should be taken as early in the morning as possible. These are many side effects to the drug and it is not routinely precribed for ADD. Food effects the absorbtion of the drug and thereforeshould be taken 30-45 minutes before or after eating. Amphetamines are generally avoided becausse they have a high potential for abuse, tolerance. Sounds like from you questions and comments that you are either on to high of a dose or you are drinking to much caffeine. Good Luck, There are other meds that are just as effective with a whole lot less side effects. I hated not be able to drink caffeine, Adderaal, stratara(SP) are really effective meds. I also hope that the doctor did test on you before he/she prescribed this med. Best of luck
