Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The behaviour of one child deteriorated while he was taking methylphenidate and caffeine.
Canadian Medical Association journal  •  1975  |  View Paper
Twice daily injections of caffeine induced significant cross tolerance (i.e., increased ED(50)) to the amphetamine-like discriminative effects of methylphenidate and SKF 81297, attenuated non-significantly the effects of NPA, and did not alter the effects of amphetamine.
Brain Research Bulletin  •  2005  |  View Paper
Conversely, injections of methylphenidate (3.0 mg/kg) increased the ED50 of caffeine from 5.2 to 15 mg/kg.
Twice daily injection of caffeine (30 mg/kg) for 3-1/2 days increased the ED50 of methylphenidate for caffeine-appropriate responding from 1.5 to 5.5 mg/kg.
