L-Theanine

[Guest [...]]

Hello fellow Buddies,

 

I have tapered down from 1 mg of X this year and I'm down to .25  I started taking L a few days ago. Pretty cheap, bought it off Amazon. 200 mg capsules. I have taken it for 4 days now. It seems to calm me some. While doing this I just jumped and I'm on my third day. I have went CT about 5 times before and really never could make it past the 3rd day. I once made it 13 days. I don't know if this is going to be a success, but I have noticed the WD issues are at the very least mild at this point. I can feel it some but nothing like before. So hopefully this helps and keeps me going. I'm working and functioning daily and this taper and WD has almost become a way of life and battle everyday but somehow I keep moving. Not fun. I look forward to feeling like my old self again someday. Wanted to share something that has helped me. Thanks for all the posts here, it really does help.

@[Ni...] what symptoms are/ did you target with the L-theanine?  I'm thinking of trying it.

I'm having bad intrusive and looping thoughts and morning anxiety. Also trying to regain focus and motivation. Those are the most aggravating symptoms for me. I can almost handle the physical issues, but the mental are bad for me. I wanted to see if L would calm some of that. It seems to have a little. It's early.

@[Ni...]I am so happy that L Theanine has proven to be of help in your taper That is indeed wonderful! I just received mine yesterday too! I am not tapering anymore. Please be a bit more careful at the end of this taper than I was, I though little dose can not be a problem... I jumped too early and it was. Have you experienced with other supplements?

@Nissan31, how much L-Theanine are you taking?

I would like to note here that it did not work for me, gonna try it later. I don't know if it caused general revving up of symptoms or discomfort in my stomach and the others followed.
