    Just tried L-Theanine

    Hi,

    Just got my 60x200mg L-Theanine in the mail today. I took two with a glass of water, and within an hour I was feeling *very* mellow. Almost too mellow. I felt like my head was swimming, and "blunted" to what was going on around me.

    I've never tried anything like this before. I was skeptical, but this stuff is definitely mood-altering! Anyone else use this supplement? How much do you take?

    Staying strong,
    --Steve

    L Theanine didn't have any noticeable effects on me.

    Someone on this site recommended Phenibut and that did very noticeably mellow me out (like what you describe with the L Theanine) BUT I grew a resistance to it very quickly so I only take it occaisonally. If I don't take a supplement on a fairly regular basis I tend to forget about it so it just kind of sits in the back of the cabinet now.

      Steve, L Theanine is an herbal TEA.. your taking it in pill form? That should strip away any impurities with in the body left from alcohol. Your doing so well. I always have trouble around that tense 90 day mark. Reality sets in.

      Dandelion Root Herbal Supp. is something that has helped me through some bad times.

      Continue on to good health and happiness.

        I'm a great fan of Theanine. It does something to my anger. It doesn't make me sleepy like melatonine, but it makes me relaxed when I need to sleep.

        I take 200mg about 7pm before bed at 9. Also if I wake up at 2am and can't get to sleep, I take 200mg more. I have a chewable tablet so I don't have to take water with it (and pee later).

        Early in my AF cycle, I took it nearly every morning also to address anger issues. But those issues have passed now. So for me, just the one or two pills at night seems to work.

          I have been taking L-Theaine for the last 6 weeks with great results. I take 300mg in the morning on an empty tummy and again when I get into bed. I've never felt any mood altering feelings tho?!!?
          I take the L-Theanine with 5-HTP and magnesium for a complete anti-anxiety program. It gives me a good night's sleep and I believe it also helps with weight loss.

          Like Zen mentioned, GABA is also great for anxiety, I used to take 500mg daily but I feel this combination works well for me.

              They are not meds, they are supplements.

                  Good idea, there are lots of anti anxiety herbs and supps, why not start a thread and see what others swear by? I took the true calm and gaba for ages, and they defo helped me....

                    Has anyone found a good European supplier for this stuff?

                    Maybe it can be bought in health shops.

                    I might as well throw it into the mix- it got me interested that OverIt's doctor actually prescribed it.
