Nope: No drug-drug interaction, but excellent question. I have long wished we could find a medicine that would prolong caffeine metabolism, but unfortunately, caffeine has multiple routes of breakdown. If you take Klonopin (clonazepam) for anxiety or tremor, caffeine can oppose that effect. Best wishes to you!
