Just ordered a years supply of suntheanine from iherb.com

Medications
1

It cost me about $350. I had the money and they were having a new years sale so I went for it.

I’ve been taking L-theanine for years. Not all brands are good. In fact I was getting mysterious aches and pains from non “suntheanine” brands.

This is the best “suntheanine” brand I found (and the one I’ve ordered)

Does it help with voices?

I’ve never heard voices but the research says it can help with positive symptoms and sleep quality. So it’s worth a go.

Any idea if it interacts with antipsychotic medicine?

I have been taking “Nature’s Trove” L-theanine for a while. It’s probably regarded as a poor quality supplement, but it’s having an effect on me that I like. It seems like it is loosening up my connective tissue. It is giving me suspicious aches and pains, but I’m attributing that to a change in my body alignment. I’ve laid in a years supply taking 600 mg a day. It cost me around $75. I might be wrecking myself, buy I will keep doing this for a while.

It doesn’t appear to. Nobody’s reported it here anyway. I’m on abilify and it doesn’t interact with that.

According to webmd these are the interactions :

Interactions?

Moderate Interaction

Be cautious with this combination

!

  • Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs) interacts with THEANINE Theanine seems to decrease blood pressure. Taking theanine along with medications for high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low.

    Some medications for high blood pressure include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.

  • Stimulant drugs interacts with THEANINE Stimulant drugs speed up the nervous system. By speeding up the nervous system stimulant medications can make you feel jittery and speed up your heartbeat. Theanine might work to slow down the nervous system. Taking theanine along with stimulant medications might decrease the effectiveness of stimulant medications.

    Some stimulant drugs include diethylpropion (Tenuate), epinephrine, phentermine (Ionamin), pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), and many others.

Also I assume it increases the effects of benzos as it relaxes you.

Be careful. Keep an eye on that. That’s why I stopped taking non “suntheanine” brands.

Gzuz flippin’ chicken legs @everhopeful,

Why didnt you get powder ?

I got 250 grams for $25 USD from ND and I take a gram a day, sometimes 2 or 3.

It’s just as good as the SunTheanine brand.

HoLy mOLy.

I tried a lot of non suntheanine brands. Some from Europe and some from the USA. Some pharmaceutical grade and some not.

Long term consistent use always led to mysterious aches and pains.

So it’s a suntheanine brand for me now.

I see,

Well, it’s always better to get powder or pill form when buying in bulk, you’ll save alot more money.

You should know, you said you’re good with handling money !
