Hi everyone,
I’m already taking two grams a day each of sarcosine and NAC, but my sleep is still awful - I feel like I never get deep sleep anymore. Does anyone know if adding theanine to the mix would help?
I ask because I think that they all act in similar areas in the brain, so I was wondering whether mixing them could be detrimental?
Any input would be much appreciated 
I get my sarcosine tomorrow, but I was under the impression that it is a motivator and not a sleep aid. The L theanine is meant to help sleep patterns.
I actually take Glycine, TMG, and DMG (forms Sarcosine) and l-theanine. The l-theanine helps me sleep and keeps me relaxed. Seems to quiet the voices as well.
I think @SzAdmin has some information about this topic. I can’t remember whether it’s safe or not.
Oh, I’d like an answer, too! I just re-ordered sarcosine, which I am usually on since Feb. 2016, and L-Theanine, which is the first time I’ll be taking this. I was planning on taking one in the morning and one at night and it hadn’t occurred to me that it might not be safe.
Sarcosine for the negative symptoms and l-theanine for the sleep and paranoia issues was what I was hoping for…
I just figured that spreading them out across the day would make it easier for my body, but now I’m not sure. I
My powder set doesn’t come until Wednesday, so hopefully there’ll be a certain answer here by then!
Look up Sarcosine Side effects in google. L-theanine is safe from what I’ve read. I don’t take sarcosine specifically just the amino acids that make it but I’m fine.
I’ve never seen any information to suggest that there should be any problem with taking all these supplements at the same time.
They all target different brain receptors - so they should be complimentary I believe.
Just remembered - I’ve actually taken all these supplements at the same time - for a number of months (like most people - I go for periods of time when I’m taking supplements, and then times when I’m not - just because I run out them or need to save money or get busy) - and have had no problem with taking them at the same time.
I’ve taken them all together and had no problems.
Thanks for the replies everyone - it’s much appreciated. I tried theanine right before bed, and I had one of the worst nights sleep I’ve had in a long time. I just couldn’t get to sleep; it was like my brain was wired and that I was half-awake all night. I took it right before bed - is it something that would be better to take in the morning or during the day. If I took it in the morning/during the day, is there any chance that it could still negatively impact my sleep?
It’s actually not supposed to make you drowsy. Theanine is actually known for being a non-drowsy anti-anxiety supplement. Although I do now take it before I sleep. Sometimes I can’t sleep without it, so maybe your body has to become accustomed to it. However, I can also take it during the day without it causing me to be drowsy.
