[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 65502, member: 1498"] Sure it will work for some kids. Caffeine is a stimulant, stimulants are used to treat ADHD. Caffeine lasts about 4 hours and may have some letdown side effects when it wears off but they won't be as bad as stimulant rebound because the caffeine is a weaker stimulant. When I was in grad school, it was a known fact that drinking coffee before tests would improve test scores. Now I read that kids in school take methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate) for the same reason. [/QUOTE]
