Caffeine for ADD, depression, low energy

Posted by yesac on December 12, 2006, at 14:26:31

I saw this article about caffeine in National Geographic.... I haven't read the article yet, but I looked it over. For the most part, I've always tried to keep my caffeine intake at low to moderate doses, especially after about 4pm because it messes with my sleep. But the article got me thinking about maybe using medium to high doses of caffeine to help with psychiatric problems.
I probably wouldn't be thinking about this if prescription stimulants had helped me, but they haven't. They screw me up emotionally and don't seem to help with attention.
Does anyone drink or take caffeine pills (Vivarin, etc) for psychiatric problems such as ADD or depression? I'm really thinking of giving it a try. I'm pretty desperate.
