Theanine

[June]

I still can’t decide if Theanine raises dopamine or serotonin. I wanted to use it to lower prolactin and was so sure it was dopaminergic and then I would suddenly come across an article that says it raises serotonin. Any experience with it lowering prolactin through dopamine action? If it does exhibit a serotonin effect, then should it be avoided?

Theanine is GABAergic primarily. It does not act on serotonin or dopamine afaik.

I've come across some studies that say it does in fact raise dopamine. But I could be wrong since I won't be able to find them again. Have you noticed Gabaergic only effects from it?
