Hiya
It’s worth looking at how giftedness can appear very like ADHD – and if it’s both ADD and high IQ that are causing the behaviours you’re seeing you’ll have much more success if you are able to deal with both issues together.
Have a look at Dabrowski’s overexcitabilities and the SENGifted website for some more info.
As for caffeine, I think it’s a bit hit and miss personally. I like how it makes me feel to begin with and quickly take too much because I seem to feel that ‘just a little more would make me concentrate better’ and then I’m weepy and bad tempered when I come down from it.
