Fish oil helps but perhaps not enough. I don't know.
I would drink 10+ coffees in one day but I think amphetamine is a better stimulant than caffeine (not sure though).

A dopaminergic stimulant is good (Just gotta stay on the antipsychotic), at low dose (At first). Cuz 5mg of methylphenidate/amphetamine can be very stimulating, and cause anxiety.
If you take it as prescribed (For a few years), you'll notice that your room is clean, and everything is organized. I told my mom last night, "Look at my room.. There's not one piece of garbage - Every time I'm finished with a plate/cup, I bring it back - I keep track of every item" (Although maybe that's OCD idk).
I still procrastinate heavily.. And have built tolerance to 20x 5mg's a day worth. But 5mg 3x a day? Can seem good, for focus, wakefulness, motivation.
My problem was that I'd swallow the whole bottle (When I was a teenager), and then proceeeeeded... to purchase phenidate, phetamine, and cathinone analogues. Bad time.
I have learned, lessons.. First it would be good to see if you have ADHD (And not something else) - But if the stimulant is helpful, then that doesn't really matter (As long as use is monitored, responsibly, professionally). I had really bad "ADD", when I was a kid - But in Ireland, they didn't believe it existed (And to be heavily disciplined was the cure) so I was bullied by the teachers.
10x cups of coffee a day is more dangerous for blood pressure/cardiovascular system and such.
