Theanine Stops And Reverses The Stress Reaction (cortisol, Noradrenalin, Dopamine)

[Velve921]

Two last question on theanine, if you have any thoughts on them, please...

1. Is it likely theanine could increase appetite similar to cypro?

2. Would it be a bad idea to take aspirin with theanine, as it is with cypro?

Thanks again.

There are now the 2 supplements that I take on a daily basis at all costs; theanine and aspirin.

After a loss in the family this past year, I had my first ever panic attacks and tension. The only 2 supplements that Either reduces it by 80% or eliminates completely are both of these.

What is your dosing protocol of Theanine? @Velve921

250mg when feeling anxious. Only dose as needed.

When I had my first panic attack, 1 gram per dose.

I thought it may be helpful to note that a low dose of theanine (25mg+-) caused excitatory effects for me. This motivated me to search this out, and I stumbled upon a PubMed abstract stating just that:

"...the excitatory effects were shown in the rat i.v. administered 1 and 2 micromol/kg (0.174 and 0.348 mg/kg) b.w. of theanine alone. These results suggested two effects of theanine, depending on its concentration."

How do these doses translate to human dosage?

That’s a good question. Maybe someone more in the know can chime in. I can say that the same happened for me with taurine, on a very low dose (25mg). I believe it would be best to test it out for yourself. I would guess that a 100mg or greater dose, would tend towards less excitatory responses. At least that was my experience.
