I thought it could be Adderall. But I'm wrong.

18. That sounds like you were hyperactive

My son was hyperactive which is caused by certain chemicals used in food preservation and additives and sugar. When he was quite young doctors would prescribe Ritalin which I thought was terrible. I did some research to try to help him without giving him drugs and found out processed food at that time was filled with extra chemicals and additives and food coloring and sugar. Food as well known as corn flakes, cookies, even tooth paste. This was over 40 years ago.

I eliminated processed food and sugar from his diet and he was able to calm down completely. He could sit still and do homework, draw, read etc. without being in constant movement.

Long story short one of the effects of being hyperactive is that stimulants, like coffee have the opposite effect. They calm you down and even put you to sleep. My son grew to be very careful about putting any drugs in his body because their effect was usually the opposite of what it was for other people.
