Will taking caffeine and Strattera help concentration?

Answer 1

Well and this is jusy my personal opinion, the euphoric state and level of concentration your able to obtain while taking Adderall is obviously more potent than that of caffeine and coming off of adderall besides the occasional emotional mood swing is free of the drop in energy that caffeine induces. If you look aside from the chemical differences adderall is a safer alternative to taking the high amounts of caffeine it would take to even acheive anywhere close to the feeling that adderall gives you or the ability to concentratrate and focus on specific tasks which I don't think caffeine would allow because of it's difference. Caffine seems too be a mild stimulant where as adderall is a prescribed medication specifically designed to help with a problem. It makes the differences easier to see perhaps from an athletice perspective, I can play with my adderall as I monitor my intake when I play as where caffeine would only eventually hamper my play, regardless of the dosage because of it's physical effect on my body. So I would say that yes there is a significant difference between the too. Trust me I play better with a little adderall and a healthly diet than with a couple cokes that don't allow me that great a level of concentration for me. Cokes are great any other time as well though. Hope I helped a little. Wish you the best of luck. God bless.

Answer 2

People who notice a mild increase in focus and concentration after ingesting caffeine or nicotine also seem to have a positive response to the commonly prescribed stimulants to treat add | adhd, such as Adderall and Ritalin.

Here are a few questions and comments for you to consider. Before you started Strattera, have you actually had positive increases in concentration/relaxation after you had caffeine (or nicotine)? If so, if you have not tried conventional stimulants then you may want to discuss the idea with your doctor as those might work better for you than Strattera, or Strattera enhanced by caffeine. If Strattera is the best option for you, Coffee may or may not help you. If you are like me, then it probably won't. I'm on Strattera and caffeine increases my tendency to daydream and lose focus. I believe this is because Strattera actually influences a different neurotransmitter than Adderall, Ritalin, etc... or caffeine for that matter.
