Why does caffeine calm you downwhen you are stressed but then make you feel jumpy when you were not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually it doesn't: Stimulants commonly have more sedating effects in people who are kind of "wired funny." It is commonplace in babies and small children (benadryl (diphenhydramine) gets them wired and caffeine makes them sleepy), but we grow out of that. Some don't and they end up with ADHD and other similar disorders. If you have that response to caffeine, you may have a mild form of that.
