For me, caffeine is not effective on its own (not even for promoting wakefulness), but may be useful in combination with dopaminergic stimulants (such as methylphenidate and modafinil) and memantine.

Though i imagine caffeine and other stimulants are generally detrimental for schizophrenia spectrum conditions, if the "positive symptoms" were not a problem i think that caffeine might be a great tool.
