The previous poster habitually drinks coffee, and thus already has tolerance to the stimulant effects / increased neurotransmission.

I’m not buying that. An enormous percentage of the US population drinks coffee. I’m not an unusual case study here.
Not all of the stimulants work the same way. When (if?) you build up a tolerance to one, you change to a different med. I expect the same applies to the caffeine -> adderall change.
Coffee is not just caffeine. It contains biologically relevant amounts of monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
