Supposedly caffeine has a calming effect on people with ADD. In fact one of the ways we discovered I was ADD was that I drank at least six or seven diet Cokes a day (usually more). People with ADD are notorious for self-medicating with caffeine. However, oddly enough, the caffeine in coffee makes me really anxious (can't drink it). For me adderall helps me focus and makes me calmer than caffeine, but I still drink a significant amount of diet Coke even with the Adderall.
