Same here. I can drink a full pot of coffee when I'm depressed and it doesn't do a thing; the only time caffeine has any effect on my mood at all is when I'm already ramping up and I drink lots of Dutch Bros to extend the hypomania. It's not smart, I know, but it doesn't cause hypomania to escalate to mania so I don't really worry about it.
