I’ve researched about Theanine being very useful for anxiety and I’ve since gotten a bottle tonight. 100mg capsules. I just took one about 10 minutes ago, I will be updating soon with the results. Mind you, I have severe health/heart/chest anxiety. This is a true test run, I’ve run out of options.

Night 1:Honestly, I had a slight surge of dizziness for about 5 minutes an hour after ingestion then it went away. I can say I did feel a sense of calm but it had no effect on my physical symptoms of anxiety. I still had my chest pain and classic symptoms. No effect on sleep, no tiredness but no insomnia. What I got out of the test was just a mild mind relaxation as I was still having symptoms but not as panic reactive to them. I’m going to take another dose tonight around the same time and update again tomorrow.
