Caffeine with Ritalin (or Focalin) causes insomnia for me, and I'm definitely not alone in that; it's the first thing I tell anyone who talks to be about going on ADHD meds and I don't know why my Psychiatrist didn't say anything, particularly since a lot of ADHD people are self-medicating with caffeine.

Adderall and I were just not meant to ever go together. The first dosage had no effect other than a slightly elevated resting heartrate, and when the dose was increased, I was awake for 40 hours straight with mild psychosis.

OTOH, some people respond great to Addreall, and I've heard great things about Vyvanse (a prodrug for Adderall) for an all-day treatment for ADHD in those who do.
