never taken l-carnitine, sorry. i'd take alpha lipoic acid, now and then...to boost the ongoing protocol and detox, basically...and many vitamin places offer alpha lipoic acid with carnitine. i think its for additional antioxidant effects? sorry, that's about all the info I can offer.
l-theanine was great for me, mostly for anxiety but it also offered a mild "lift" to my mood. again, i always took the Suntheanine version...its a bit more $$$, but they seem to be good about quality control, and they also fund small studies.
one study the Suntheanine people funded was in people with a label of Schizophrenia. I think 800mgs/day was the dose, for 4-8 weeks, with ongoing 'standard treatment.' the results showed improvement in mood and a reduction in anxiety, plus an improvement in sleep.
hope this helps :-)
