For the first since forever I didn’t take L-theanine the day before yesterday. So yesterday I had no hungover feeling when I woke up.
Last night I took it again and today the hungover feeling is back today.
At least I know what the problem is now…

L-Theanine never sat well with me. I’d always feel like that the next day.

I think you can reduce the dosage a bit

Yes. I don’t think i need it anymore anyway. So I can just try taking 200mg. I might give today a skip to confirm my “findings”.

Careful @everhopeful L Theanine is a natural benzo in disguise. Not only is it GABA based, it also works on dopamine and serotonin.

I bought two more bottles because of your posts, even taylor swift takes l-theanine, you also mentioned taurine not being very effective, whats next?

L-theanine is great. It helped me tolerate abilify for years. It stops my catastrophic thinking. I’m not going to stop taking it but since I changed the time of day I take abilify I just don’t need as much of it.

Not since I changed the time of day that I take abilify. Do you find L-theanine helps with that? It did for me.
Like I said it helped me tolerate the anxiety/distress/akathisia that abilify used to give me.

L-theanine helps a bit but it doesnt stop me from pacing for hours do i have to go above 200mg for it to stop? i also take akineton in big doses but it still doesnt stop the pacing i have large athletic legs
200mg is a small dose. Try 400mg.
I was taking 1200mg a day at one point (2 x 600mg ) which is the max per day you’re supposed to take.

I wouldn’t stop the akineton as that was prescribed by your doctor. Talk to your doctor before you stop that.

L theanine didn’t work for me. I thought it would be a wonder drug. I took it for 2 weeks and I went into a severely bad episode

I think I’m immune to L Theanine. Or maybe its cause I’m on clonazepam. I’ve taken grams of the stuff to no Ill effect.

I’m trying to reduce L-Theanine as well. I went down 450 mg today. I feel much better in the morning but I’m still dealing with intrusive thoughts.
