Hi Ron!
Thanks for the posts on L-Theanine and GABA.
> For the past month and a half or so, I?ve been taking l-theanine to treat my bipolar II related dysphoric mood states (i.e.; irritability, GRRRRRRRR!). So far it?s working great. Time will tell regarding its long-term efficacy. In addition to the nice GABA release, it also gives me some added motivation and energy (i.e.; improved dopamine release), and it supposedly lowers cortisol (which I believe to be true).
Yupp, I've tried L-Theanine. Although it does work for stress and anxiety (although sedates me more than Valium I'd say) - it doesn't improve my energy level and motivation. Still looking for something which could help me out with my motivation, confidence and slight apathy.
