[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 653543, member: 1963"] husband had ADHD and survived his military career on copious amounts of black coffee and chocolate covered coffee beans. The amount of caffeine he consumed kept him focused enough that he was able to write everything down in little notebooks that went everywhere with him. The structure of the Army and the set rules and procedures for everything helped him a lot, but impulsivity was still enough of an issue that early on he was a corporal twice. I think he was on stimulant medications within a week of outprocessing on a medical discharge not related to his ADHD. The stims worked a LOT better than the caffeine did. husband's impulsivity as an adult didn't manifest in actions so much as it did notknowing when to keep his m outh shut. [/QUOTE]
