Caffeine and depression treatments
Caffeine has been shown to increase the antidepressant effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in humans and the antidepressant-like effects of SSRIs, SNRIs, and atypical antipsychotics in mouse models. The proposed mechanism for this is that caffeine's adenosine receptor antagonism increases downstream production of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
