Do you still take it @anon20318121?
no is still have 2 bottles sitting on my shelf…
pointless taking them if they dont work.
I also went on the L theanine craze faze
Have you tried it with coffee before?
yes, it really didnt do anything.
So how many months in did the L Theanine stop working?
i took it for maybe 2 montha and it never made me feel any difference or calm me down.
I’m taking a lot a day. If you take a lot a day over a long period you have to taper off it. You can’t quit it cold turkey or you’ll go bananas.
I’ll keep that in mind thanks.
I’m sensitive I guess. I like orange kickstarts the most.
Interesting. I write short choppy sentences now. I think it’s the medication.
I never cycled it. I quit aniracetam after a few months. I heard it’s good to not take it for too long. I was worried about that. Is that what you mean by cycling?
You probably know more about cycling and supplements than me. I know with aniracetam it’s recommended to take Alpha GPC (choline) and fish oil or something with fat in it because it’s fat soluble.
I was going to try Aniracetam and I just read it does something to your dopamine so I am going to stay away from it. As for cycling I’ve heard some nootropics that you can take 5 days on and 2 days off. Or 3 months on and a month on. Possibly 56 days on and 4 days off. Whatever works for you I guess. If something loses it’s effect then that’s something you have to cycle.
I drink coffee everyday. So when it stops working I guess I will cycle it.
I think I will take this combination 5 days on and 2 days off. It seems reasonable.
So I just looked it up and 6 oz of coffee has 70 grams of caffeine. So I will just drink a cup and a half.
Just took my second dose of L Theanine and Coffee. Feeling pretty smart. Yes.
I sometimes take a caffeine tablet with my l-theanine. You know then exactly how much caffeine you are taking.
Do you cut the caffeine pill in half? Seems like there’s only 200 mg caffeine pills out there on the market. I read the caffeine intake should be half of the L Theanine dose.
I take 200mg caffeine and 400mg l-theanine. I find anything less than 400mg l-theanine doesn’t touch the side for me.
Oh wow, do you cycle it?
I take it almost like a recreational drug in that I have it not that regularly but just to feel pleasant every now and then. Not sure if I would recommend it for that though.
You see every couple of weeks or so I like to stay up all night. I find it fun. That requires a lot of caffeine but the l-theanine blunts the harsh effects of the caffeine. It also calms.
Would recommend it with caffeine.
