caffeine boosts dopamine and epinephrine.
from wikipedia:
"The principal mode of action of caffeine is as an antagonist of adenosine receptors in the brain...The reduction in adenosine activity results in increased activity of the neurotransmitter dopamine, largely accounting for the stimulatory effects of caffeine. Caffeine can also increase levels of epinephrine/adrenaline,[48] possibly via a different mechanism."
