[quote=Anonymous]Adult ADHD on Adderall and coffee is fine in small doses. As others have said, stimulants have the opposite effect on ADHD. But too much coffee can push it out of the calming range and into jittery. It can also bump up heart rate and BP. Her MD should definately know about regular caffeine use. That said, I would not want my kid drinking a Starbucks Frappachino every day. Caffeine aside, that's a lot of processed sugar first thing in the morning. I would look at that drink and my ADHD kid and think, hell no-- the sugar crash mid morning is going to be awful. If your teen is taking herself and spending her own money, I guess it's hard to put a stop to. But I would encourage her to think of Starbucks as a once a week thing (it's my Monday am treat), rather than a daily thing. [/quote]
