Can You Take Caffeine and Phenylpiracetam Together?
Dose or timing may matter
The short answer
Phenylpiracetam has psychostimulant properties and increases physical stamina, while caffeine is a CNS stimulant. Combining them may cause overstimulation, anxiety, elevated heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.
How to arrange timing
Reduce caffeine intake when using Phenylpiracetam. Start with a lower dose of both and avoid combining in the afternoon or evening.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
