I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap
I can drink pot after pot of espresso every day (i love the taste and comforting warmth) yet if I travel or “miss” my morning coffee it changes nothing about how I feel or my energy level. No cravings ever.
I kind of would like to get the zap of a good caffeine buzz. It sounds like some kind of amazing out-of-body nervous energy
When I was a kid my friends used to love this stuff called “Jolt Cola” that was marketed as having “All the sugar, and twice the caffeine” of regular soda (lol)… I drank can after can of it and never clued into why I thought it was just regular soda, and my friends were going cuckoo berserk on it
It’s a weird superpower. I’m also immune to codeine and similar, which I’ve come to understand are similar molecules… so it seems to explain something to me. I didn’t figure any of this out until my mid 30’s. Post-dental surgery, emergency visits and similar was always a huge battle because they’d think I was lying when I said the painkillers weren’t working, assuming I was drug-seeking

ADHDer here. Same for the caffeine and the pot.
Possibly similar, but the drugs given before an awake surgery also do absolutely nothing to me when they’re supposed to make you loopy and calm your anxiety. Nope. I’m entirely lucid for you shoving the tube into my heart, thank you.
Also, red hair? Redhead pain med immunity is a thing.
As if being a ginger wasn’t painful enough.
Came here to second this. I have ADHD and basically the only thing most drugs do to me is give me a headache. I don’t get drunk, weed does nothing, and i don’t get high or withdrawals from stimulant meds though very high doses of methylphenidate will make me slightly anxious.
Whether OP has “ADHD” or not, he certainly seems to have a similar kind of neurodivergence to you and I
I don’t have ADHD, I just metabolize it quickly. I’ve come to learn it’s not that uncommon in people

Everyone can get drunk. It’s a matter of quantity.
