Social Anxiety Background
Severe/extreme social anxiety for 2 years.
Other Treatments
Citalopram.
Mirtazapine.
and a lot of other stuff.
Treatment Experience
I've bought 60 caps of 100mg "pharmaceutical-grade and scientifically supported" L-Theanine, and I have eaten almost all of them so far.
I have eaten up to 500mgs (5 caps) and still couldn't feel any anxiety reduction, so either this is so mild I can't feel it or I am just immune to the stuff.
Guess I won't buy them again because I think L-theanine is quite expensive and it doesnt work for me I think...
Social Anxiety Background
disabilitating generalized SA
Other Treatments
Everything
Treatment Experience
L-Theanine is very mild and innocuous. It may help with rest and relaxation a little but not even as well as antihistamines do. Picamillon or Phenibut even seem to work better.

Social Anxiety Background
Severe general anxiety disorder and social anxiety. All my life. Also mild autism spectrum disorder
Other Treatments
Psychiatric treatment for the past 2 and a half years
Tyrosine
Turmeric (just started - will report more later)
Tried one Mao inhibiter but it made me too nauseous
Treatment Experience
I found L-theanine has a huge effect on my sleeping. I have always slept 9 to 10 hours a night and quite often still did not feel as though I had enough sleep
Now I take 100mg of L-theanine when I go to bed and another 100mg when I wake in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. I split the dose as I don't ghink it quite lasts 8 hours.
Now I need an hour LESS sleep every night and I feel a lot more rested during the day. This has helped me gain another hour of life every day.
I did try L-theanine during the day and it does not help at all with the social anxiety I have during the day, only with sleeping.
