L-theanine actually works for anxiety...?

Original post in this thread

I am one of those we never thought any "legal" substances, pills, herbs, supplements whatever would work. But this one really seems to do the job...?
I take 200mg in the morning and I just feel so leveled out the whole day, like there is a constant inner calm whatever I do and wherever I go. I used to be a nerve wreck for years, always escaping "to a safe place", panic attacks. Right now it feels like none of it never existed, and it can't be placebo because I suffered like that for YEARS, and its gone now. I was out shopping whole day today, for the first time in maybe 5 years, normally I would escape after 10 minutes. I can't believe it, it feels like I got back my life.
There is no "high" or anything like that, just a constant inner calm.

What are your experiences with L-theanine?

Here to warn the community that I've experienced debilitating rebound anxiety when taking l-theanine. It was 100 percent this substance. Quit a week ago and back to baseline. Theanine is going in the trash.

Nothing is stopping the crash. 5 Hour Energy is overpriced bullshit with a lot of marketing. The other ingredients are not at effective levels, or are bioavailable types. Drink some coffee, take a B complex, and have som

Something is wrong with this sub

Replying to amirrorbehind · One of the contributing factors is the cult of celebrity. I need not explain who nor am I criticizing, but once a respected member of our community turned into a research chemical…

Yep, my fault guys. I'll just stop posting, and things will get better. It's all on me... You can all go back to caffeine/L-theanine, long winded modafinil, and "does piracetam work" posts. No need to advance the communi
