I've heard some positive and negative things about L-Theanine on here, so I finally decided to order some and give it a try. My problem is that I am incredibly calm and relaxed and stress-free most of the time; except when it comes to my work as a photographer. I have tried lots of things to counteract this stress and nothing has worked for me..... yet. I intend to seriously take up meditation in the future and have already started, as well as yoga. But the problem is, the anticipation leading up to a big work day is worse than the actual day. I can deal with the work, it's the anticipation that's the issue and it makes me lose sleep for one or two nights before (think about what could go wrong, etc.) and can cause digestive upset for a week ahead of time.
While I intend to conquer the stress all together in the future, part of me thinks it's my wiring - I've always been nervous before big events. So in learning how to deal with it, I'm trying anything I can - pregnenolone definitely helps, but I've been wanting to try L-theanine, so I got some. My L-theanine arrived today and I felt the first small dose immediately (probably 80 mg). But the effects don't seem to last very long. I don't like the idea of taking a lot at once, so was wondering how many smaller doses are safe throughout the day and up to a total amount? What doses have you all found effective?
Many thanks :)
