Discussion Any experiences with L-theanine?

[ImpairedLowlife]

I'm going to start taking L-theanine form tomorrow to hopefully improve mood, energy levels and quality of sleep. What's your experience with it as well as dosages?
Thanks in advance

Ty! Any other supplements you found helpful in that regard?

It initially helped a little with anxiety/helping me relax to go to sleep.

Then suddenly after a couple of years of taking it, I noticed that it would have backfiring effects/make me stimulated rather than relaxed or sleepy.

I chalk that up to the fact that my nervous system has been dealing with a lot of shit the past few years.

As the brain changes, so does its reaction to certain supplements and medications.

i havent personally tried anything else but ive heard ashwagandha is also good for a non-prescription alternative

I take L theanine and Gabba and it actually helps me less anxious and overthinks! But the side effects I normally get is I feel sleepy/drowsy.
