Customer Reviews of Source Naturals L-Theanine, 200 mg, Capsules, 60 capsules (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Solved problems of Asperger Syndrome, Anxiety, and PTSD. Gave me the focus to study!
Summary: 5 Stars
I suffer from Anxiety and PTSD. In combination with Asperger Syndrome I have allot of trouble coping with stress and keeping my mind on things I want to learn. I usually use Meditation to cope, which helps allot, but it's difficult to relax enough to do that while in the middle of anxiety. Problem I have is that I can't take Medications for this because the side effects are often worse than the problem.
I read that L-Theanine creates the same effects in the mind as a meditative state so I bought this.
Taking between 1 and 2 Grams a day, I still experience stress, but it affects me differently. I was also able to focus on my work. In the one month since taking it, I learned 2 programming languages, (Visual Basic .NET and C# .NET) and now I am learning XNA, DirectX, Assembly, and even creating 3D Models for my own 3D games! I would never have been able to focus that well for so long without burning myself out before.
This literally solved almost all of my problems.
Taking it to help me sleep, well, that didn't work out so well. It stopped racing thoughts, and made me calmer, but didn't actually "sedate" so it had only a minimal benefit for sleep. But because it didn't sedate I was able to use it more when working.
It's immune system enhancing effects are also of significant benefit to me.
When I was 10 years old I suffered from Scarlet Fever. I was not properly diagnosed so didn't get any antibiotics for a few months. Left untreated I didn't recover at all and when they finally put me on antibiotics they put me on them for a whole 6 months. So now, because I had Scarlet Fever for almost a whole year, and because I was given too many antibiotics, I usually have a very very bad reaction to a Strep Infection and antibiotics never work for it because my body developed a resistance to most of the really strong ones.
Well, I caught Strep again this month. But I didn't get the same bad reaction. I had allot of coughing, hot flashes, etc. I still got sick. But it wasn't as serious as it usually is. In fact, I have NEVER had the Strep before so insevere.
I wouldn't go so far as to say Theanine would keep me from getting sick, but taking it seemed to improve my ability to recover from sickness.
The only downside I noted was when going to the Gym. It was actually more difficult to maintain a focus for pushing myself to lift more or run faster. I don't think the Theanine itself inhibited physical performance in any way, but the calm mind finds it difficult to have the will to be anything but calm.
With that being the only downside I found myself taking more when I felt I needed it, without having to worry about taking too much. I think all the Prescription Drugs to combat the problems I have can be replaced by L-Theanine. Sadly, I ran out in less than a month. But it was worth every penny and I'll be buying more.
