Hi all. I’m looking for information on the use of caffiene with ADHD children and I would really appreciate any information that you have. Is it an alternative to ritalin??? Thanks for all answers!

As far as I know caffeine is not used in the treatment of ADHD and is not an alternative to Ritalin. High doses of caffeine (> 3 mg/kg) in children who consume little caffeine produce negative subjective effects such as nervousness, jitteriness, stomachaches, and nausea. Caffeine, in lower dosages, appears to slightly improve vigilance performance and decrease reaction time in healthy children but does not consistently improve performance in children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.
