L-theanine feels too good. Am I missing something?

Let's brainstorm potential drawbacks. I've been taking it everyday for a couple weeks and it feels like DRUGS. In a good way. But it's setting off those "no such thing as a free lunch" alarms in my mind.
EDIT: Lots of comments, not exactly what I was going for but it has been pointed out that discussing L-theanine does, to a certain extent, represent a conflict of interest as Doubleblinded, Inc. currently sells a kit for individual testing of L-theanine. So I'll shut up about L-theanine for the time being! Please take my observation as a anecdotal,spurious, non-quantitative and completely subjective data point. I'll rejoin the L-theanine talk in a few weeks.

I would be interested in seeing a kit like that, if not a full-blown study, with tianeptine sulfate. After months, I decided it just didn't work. So many others rave about it that I would love to have some idea if there's a placebo effect, if I'm an outlier, or if it really works and my experience was just confounded because of other substances or life events.

Hell, I'll fund a study like that. I just don't have time to organize and run everything. I'll supply the raw materials and funding, though.
