“Thus, caffeine can interact with a wide range of psychiatric medications, including antidepressant agents , antipsychotic agents, antimanic agents, antianxiety agents, and sedative agents.”
“&NA; Recent preclinical and clinical data suggest that low dose of caffeine enhances the effects of common antidepressants.”
“The results show that withdrawal of caffeine after its chronic intake may change activity of antidepressants with concomitant alterations within monoamine, adenosine and glutamate systems.”
“Our previous studies showed that some of the tested antidepressants (tricyclics, SSRIs, mirtazapine, nefazodone) directly inhibited the metabolism of caffeine when added in vitro to liver microsomes.”
“We conclude that the tested antidepressant drugs may affect the metabolism of caffeine not only in a direct way (binding to the enzyme), but also indirectly via inducing CYP1A2 (sertraline and mirtazapine) and CYP2C isoforms (fluoxetine, sertraline, mirtazapine) after prolonged administration.”
“Social isolation modulates sensitivity to psychoactive substances: it potentiated the depressive and analgesic effects of morphine, but attenuated the activating and anxiogenic effects of caffeine.”
