Giving up L-theanine for a month

I’m giving up L-theanine for a month to see if this pain in my side goes away. If not, it’s off to the doctor I go.

I had a pain in my side before from another brand of L-theanine and it went away when I switched to my current brand.

It’s going to be rough, as I rely on L-theanine to tolerate Abilify basically. Also my functioning goes down when I don’t take it.

I take 750mg a day.

That’s quite a lot. Maybe you should try a lower dose of L-Theanine? Wish you good luck.

When was your last bloods screening?

Is it on the liver side (right)?

Last blood screening was pre covid.

Yes, it’s on my right side.

Like I said, off to the doctor I go in a month if it does not improve…

Make your appointment now and then in a month you’ll get to see the GP… :wink:

I think it’s highly unlikely that supplements cause pains unless you can correlate the supplement you are taking with known side effects. Then again 750mg is a considerable dose. Maybe go down in the dosage, if quitting can cause problems.

Depending on the cost of seeing a doctor where you are now. I would highly recommend both seeing them and stopping the L-theanine. You ideally want to rule out all causes here and if it’s a simple fix then you don’t want to be dealing with pain for a whole month

How is the no l theanine going?

4 days, has the pain gone? @everhopeful

I ask because when I had liver pain it usually goes in a couple of days.

I don’t know how much of a drinker you were or whether it was spirits, wine or beer but liver damage can be permanent after a time, so watching out for liver pain is key.

Have you ever had the liver scan?

No, never had a liver scan … But my bloods always came back normal.
