I have had severe anxiety for 15 years. Utterly crippling, and unaffected by any prescribed med. I was clean of all mood altering meds when I took the L-theanine.

I took 200mg L-theanine in evening before bed and anxiety dropped away in a half hour. I wasn't euphoric at all, just free of anxiety. Made falling asleep so much easier. Slept deeply.

The next morning I did feel a little euphoric. Colors were brighter, scents stronger. I was so energized I went for a run. Exercise gave me a total buzz.

Anxiety destroys sleep, and I think the high I experienced the next morning was simply because I had finally gotten real sleep for the first time in years.

I continued to dose with theanine over the next week but it lost its effectiveness when I took it regularly.

Worth noting that the first time I took l-theanine, it was more effective than xanax, clonopin, or any other prescription drug I have ever taken.
