I tried cutting down as it’s expensive. I tried replacing some of it with other supplements.
The final straw was taking L-glutamine which screwed me up completely and gave me suicidal ideation and the worst anxiety.
L-theanine works for me, and it keeps me sane while taking Abilify.
I’m finished with trying new supplements. I’ll stick with the few I have that work.

I take L-theanine on occasion, if I am feeling anxious from caffeine intake or something but I have been taking them less and less. My bottle is going to last a long time.

I consider it part of my meds now. I’ve tried everything to cut it down like I said, but taking it makes me feel so much better.

I take l-theanine every day. 100mg in the morning and 200mg before bed.
Me too, if I have to much coffee too quickly and feel a little anxiety I’ll take 100mg l-theanine PRN and it always works.

Is it not an amino acid? Does it help with sleep?

It’s an amino acid but it is not one of the 21 amino acids our bodies require.
It can act as an anxiolytic and helps some people with sleep.
