Does Poorly with Stimulants

Stimulants and Caffeine in Diet

My son can't do any of the stimulants for his ADHD. The dr's have him on
Wellbutrin.

Would the caffiene still be ok for him to use or is that just
going to make him go off the wall? He likes coffee and the protein shake
sounds like something he would love.

Hi Mom

I certainly can't predict how he'll react to the coffee and protein shake, but if he has
a track record of "liking coffee" without going "off the wall" then he should do just
fine with it in a protein shake. Just start small. Start with just the protein shake for
a few days, then add just a small amount of caffeine to the protein shake, and over maybe
two weeks work up to a full cup of coffee's worth of caffeine and see how he does.

But just go slow and be conservative. Stay in touch with your doctor too.
