I have PTSD and bipolar 2. From 1992 to 2022, the VA failed to diagnose my PTSD, and misdiagnosed my bipolar 2 as major depression. Once diagnosed properly, I was taking 100 mg Lamotrigine 2x daily, and 150mg trazodone at night. In Jan 2022, I had to travel to Colorado to collect evidence for my malpractice claim against the VA. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my trazodone.

I was feeling very stressed, and went to a marijuana dispensary and asked if they had anything for PTSD. Those pills reduced my anxiety and increased my motivation. It was illegal for me to bring the pills home, so I tested each ingredient individually. The 3rd ingredient (l-theanine) was the ingredient that improved my symptoms.

To be safe, I started taking 100mg l-theanine in the morning, and decreased my morning dose of lamotrigine to 50mg in the morning.

I have been on this regimen for a year and a half now, and haven't had any negative side effects that I know of.

Im definately finding L-Theanine is helping me relax and focus and it helps with sleep too. I take a pretty high dose. 2x 400mg a day first in the morning and at night.

Instead of using SSRI and feeling good no matter how the life goes just because I am on treatment I feel comfortable and not working and not be productive. I decided to consume L theanine and sedative supplements instead of psychiatric drugs .
And I feel good and now I know what are the things that trigger anxiety and can avoid them!

[Jezza_Drives_Fast]

I've been taking this along with Shoden and Affron and it's been doing wonders for my anxiety levels so far. Also sleeping a lot better.

[DIVEnSOME]

Aaa yes L THEANINE the adaptogen amino acid, 200mg in the morning does wonders for the mood ❤ love this stuff.

[CLewey]

How would you compare this to a L-Tyrosine and 5HTP stack?

[tinatrachtenburg]

I just recently have GAD. It's been rough for about 3 weeks. I take L-theanine along with Kava, Lemon balm and passion flower. Zero sugar and zero caffeine. Today I feel normal 🥰

[brianhauser]

I started this when i had to stop ashwagandha for a month it works just as well as ashwagandha for mood like i feel happy and very calm on these i will probably do ashwagandha for 2 months and then these for 2 months for the rest of my life with how good i feel and how much easier life is on these

[jtrover]

This stuff knocks me out, and I actually love it, lol.
I take 1 250mg pill at night and I am out within 15 minutes. And i sleep deep.
Last night I took one and actually fell asleep in my chair all night. Thats never happened before.

[adamlengyel]

@doctorlegrand Can theanine cause serotonin syndrom together with remeron, theoretically?

[picklenplastic]

L is so noticeable. I was taking Alpha Brain and didn't know it was one of the ingredients. Last week my friend gave me just L and an hour later I had to look up Alpha Brain ingredients because it felt exactly the same. Go figure it contains L. It's great stuff. Makes me happy.

[Muhluri]

I took a starting dose of 150 today and I already feel big benefits.
The only other thing that calms my mind this much is nicotine. L theanine has the benefits of nicotine but with 0 of the downsides. I don't have the shaking or the blood pressure issues I'd get with nicotine gum.

I can't remember when last my mind has ever felt this calm! My hyperactivity is also significantly reduced!

[Walkingstreetswithmatt]

Where do I get the neurotransmitter test

[nicoc]

Is is t necessary to take breaks from l theanine or can I take it long term?

[chrissy]

I am very optimistic, looking on the bright side with rose colored lens type. But my dad died Dec. 2nd and I was doing ok grieving for a couple weeks, but then I figured it's time to push on, so I did. But after week 4, I was thinking positive, but my neck cord is pulling and sometimes feels like someone is squeezing my heart and my body will get heavy. It must be the grief hiding in my body. I also get intrusive thoughts like the whole world is going to fall apart and then I get hard to breath anxiety. Anyway the CBD shop was closed. So I remembered taking vitamins for anxiety yrs ago. So I found L-Theanine and Ashwagandha and I felt better 1 hour after taking it! Today is day 2 and still working. I am taking 2 of each tablet, per day. So thrilled to have some help till I get better.

2:11 excuse me?! how are you supposed to measure your dopamine/serotonin levels? they dont show up in the blood as far as i know

[samlatooni]

Mannn, is testing really necessary? I cant take st John's wart coa of light sensitivity but came free from the healthcare. If l thenine modulates spikes in other neorotrasmitters than y not just take it . Tests are expensive 😢😢😢😢😢.also, are there any withdrawal symptoms?
