Theanine May Be Better Than PCPA For Reducing Serotonin

[Dean]

I continue to take it both ways. Dropping it in liquid is more convenient. I take more later in the day, than early. The sedation seems to be lessening, however. The last few times I've dropped a larger amount sublingually at night did not seem to give me the same pronounced reaction either.

I take mine under tongue, powder.

What's different if you take under tongue?

For what reason might theanine noticeably increase one's anxiety? I only get this effect at doses above ~250mg. Strangely combined with caffeine the anxiety never happens...

My lower serotonin stack:
Lysine Lysine as a serotonin receptor antagonist
Taurine
Theanine
