Is coffee a stimulant or a tranquilizer for you?

There are ubiquitous jokes about cutting coffee intake when someone is "hyper." Yet stimulants are used to "calm" hyperkinetic kids. Seems that many who begin drinking coffee as adults find it steadying, not like a speed affect, so am curious about how coffee works for you.
Answer:
Slows me down.
i think it's a stimulant.
Stimulant, it wakes me up.
necessity - what you are speaking of is not a stimulate effect but the depressant effect that the lack of the stimulate causes
It gives energy sometimes and other times calms me down when Im under stress
it doesn't really affect me... i just drink it black for the antioxidants
morning wake up
coffee is a stimulant by nature. it can act to make one hyper if they are not regular coffee drinkers. at the same time, a regular drinker, may be calmed by coffee. caffeine is like any drug and once tolerance built up, the body is soothed by its presence.
My youngest son was "hyper", the surest way to get him to calm down was a cup of coffee. As I do not believe in giving drugs to children, my son drank coffee every day.
It is clearly a stimulant. Drink a pot tonight and find out for yourself.
It is true that stimulants can help to channel energy, so for some people the effects may seem to be adverse, but that doesn't mean caffeine isn't a stimulant.
It makes me sleepy. It deffinately doesn't "wake me up" although if I drink alot I get palpitations.
I drink it because it tastes nice and it's a habit.
just like hormones, makes me less grouchy
Two cups in the morning wakes me up, but by nightfall I may be having a withdrawal headache. Then, a small cup of coffee will help me fall asleep better than if I go to bed with that slight headache. It's ironic but it may have a calming effect on hyperactive children and dogs. I've seen it.
it wakes me up but does not make me hyper. I have ADD. So in kindergarden I was ordered by the Dr. to drank a cup every morning before school. I guess it seems to help me focus and keep a clearer head. I drink about two to three cups a day.
i dont drink it very often...i might have a cup if im at a hotel but thats just cuz its there..even so it doesnt really affect me...
