ADHD stimulants include: Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, and Jornay PM
ADHD non-stimulants include: Strattera, Qelbree, and Intuniv
"other meds" include: non-ADHD stimulants that are meant to treat other conditions, depressants, antidepressants, and any self-medicated drugs like meth, cocaine, and alcohol
other clarification:
please note that "affects me more" just means that the side effects are more intense when medicated than when not medicated. this could mean that you become more energetic/stressed/frantic than you usually get when drinking caffeine, but it could also mean that you get more tired/fatigued/lathargic than you usually get when drinking caffeine.
in the same vein, "affects me less" just means that the side effects are less intense when medicated than when not medicated. so if you become super stressed after drinking caffeine when off your meds, consuming caffeine while on your meds might make you get just a little anxious (and likewise with fatigue).
