Absolutely, people are very different. In my particular case, I used to get anxiety, and it got worse with caffeine. Got benzos for years as an when-needed fallback. ADHD had not been diagnosed yet. Turned out that much of it was a magnesium deficit, and magnesium replaced benzos completely. I also tried modafinil before I was officially diagnosed, and it worked pretty great. But that is just my very specific case.

The only general takeaway is to keep searching for what’s up and what works for you, and that is probably very different in your case.
