is scientifically proven

Sorry, what?

At what doses?

Yeah if someone's self-medicating with like 18 cups of coffee per day they're gonna have a bad time, but like 2 cups shouldn't wreck somebody. I feel like this needs more specificity.

(Although more than 4 cups per day will start leeching calcium from your bones, so watch out for that)

tbf I'd be dosing on caffeine even if I didn't have ADHD
