I have noticed with my son that if he drinks an energy drink, it actually mellows him out!
Poeple have told me that caffiene will have the same kind of effect as meds on a kid. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

I did read that when I was doing research. Some how the caffeine has the opposite effect on ADHD kids than normal people. It's the sugar that gets my son all hyped up. We switched to diet caffeinated soda when he wants pop.
