A drug that fixes akrasia without major side-effects would indeed be the Holy Grail. Unfortunately I don’t think caffeine does anything of that sort. For me it increases focus, but it doesn’t combat weakness of will, avoidance behavior, ugh fields. I don’t know about other existing drugs.

Some amphetamines kinda solve akrasia-in-general to some extent (much more so than caffeine), at least for some people.
I’m not claiming that they’re worth it.
