I take 30mg of Adderall daily, and use caffeine very carefully. I have yet to read anything stating an explicit danger in combining caffeine with pstims, but you have to realize that you will be amplifying the cardiovascular and perepheral nervous system stimulation effects of either drug by adding them together. So go easy.

I drink tea or coffee every now or then to help give me a morning boost on those days that the pstim doesn't seem to be doing much good, and have really abused ided tea in the evenings during finals to keep me functional when working on school papers. I find that in these cases, I tolerate little bit of caffeine much better than a corresponding increase in my dosage of Adderall.

That's my experience, anyway. I'd say go ahead and see how you respond. Some folks have reported that caffeine seems to cancel out some of the effectiveness of their pstim. Others drink caffeine with pstims on a regular basis. Just make sure that you're getting enough sleep (sleep deprivation is *very* dangerous) and monitoring yourself.

Happy jitters!
