I take Horbaach brand. 5mg per day does it for me, however one can take up to 20 mg. It was life changing for me, I'll never stop taking it, in fact I'm slowly weaning myself off my psych meds!
Look into L-Theanine as well. I just use it as a sleep aid but some have found it to be able to replace their ADHD medicine and help with other mental issues as the root cause was a deficiency in L-Theanine.
Also you'll see it included in energy drinks and pre-workouts as when combined with caffeine the L-Theanine cancels out the "jitters" while not reducing the energy boost from the caffeine. It's why cup of espresso makes me take off like a dragster while a can of Reign gives me calm energy for hours despite having the same amounts of caffeine.
Do you mind sharing your preferred source for L-Theanine? Bulk powder? How are you taking it? (With/without food, just before bed, in coffee?) My beloved had a brain tumor removed and has had sleep problems and jitters since. Lions mane has helped with stutters and vocabulary but these other issues persist. Thanks in advance.
Source doesn't really matter, I use Nutricost as I can get a years supply for cheap. 200mg an hour before you want to go to bed, with or without food. The change is that when I lay down I'll start falling asleep within minutes rather than laying there awake for hours. However if you don't go to bed within that 60-90 minute window you'll miss it and end up laying there awake.
I usually take it with magnesium glycinate, since calcium and magnesium work together that's probably where the glass of milk before bed old wive tale comes from. So to get all three pop the L-theanine and magnesium and drink it down with a glass of milk and you should be getting sleepy in like half an hour.
What dossage did you use......any particular brand?

I've given L- theanine a try but it did not work for me like the Lithium Orotate. Perhaps I'll give it another try, it can't hurt. Thanks!
If your problem was solved with lithium then it probably wasn't an L-theanine issue.
