No it’s common for ADHD ppl because most stimulants have a paradox reaction. That’s why you get meth and amphetamines.
I mean most are also caffeine addicts.
But it doesn’t work because we are addicts
Well you source is kinda … bad.
In medicine a paradoxical reaction is described as a reaction which is basically unexpected.
Your source is throwing things together that are not right in this way. It basically conflated research over methylphenidate, a very common ADHD medication, with all stimulants and a lot of narcotics.
Methylphenidate has no paradox reaction, because it also works in non ADHD children - just not as strong.
While there are not systematic medical trials on Coffein there are a lot of weaker studies on it that show a high amount of evidence that it has a calming effect. The discussion here is if this isn’t the same in the normal population too, not if it has a calming effect.
The source you had makes claims and then does not show any evidence for these btw.
It’s common for addicts, and ADHD peeps are commonly addicts.

That’s a debunked claim from the 80’s as it happens.
