Green tea and schizoaffective disorder

So I had a cold a month ago and tried some green tea even though I didn’t usually drink it. Wow what a difference it has made in my life. I know it contains ltheanine which, by itself, helps somewhat but drinking pure green tea has been a game changer for me.

I notice that my paranoia is nearly completely gone, the bad thoughts, and my sleep is improved by 500%. My memory and cognition is also pretty darn good now where it used to be shot. It’s not helping with the voices(it’s been the same since I started my end game meds)but man my quality of life has improved night and day. I didn’t drink green tea for 2 days after a month of drinking it and got paranoid and my memory became bad and I was wondering what changed. Then I remembered that I hadn’t drunk green tea and was like, “wow it really has been helping me.”

Taking ltheanine by itself didn’t help nearly this much. I just hope this lasts for the rest of my life. I highly recommend drinking green tea for schizophrenia symptoms!

How many cups do you drink each day. Just wondering if I might try it.

Too much green tea displaces iodine in the thyroid causing iodine deficiency leading to a goiter. Green tea is good for preventing a lot of cancers. Green tea extract pills are usually too much green tea. Ive been drinking 2 cups of green tea for ages and I still have hallucinations more nights than less and delusions. Glad you found something that works for you. Good things.

I think green tea has antioxidants and i read before people with anxiety have low antioxidants. Maybe its the same with sz. Im gonna try it.

Matcha green tea gives me a high lol
A few weeks ago i took big amounts of matcha green tea and went to the gym i got so high i felt like passing out i think it was making my psychosis worse

matcha powder contains an amino acid called L-theanine, which can increase dopamine levels and promote relaxation and focus.

Green Tea contains catechins which in turn stops norepinephrine from breaking down.

I used to drink a lot of green tea when I was studying.
