Some supplements are basically unregulated medications.
I found out the hard way that L-Theanine does not mix well with bipolar disorder. I suspect it inactivated the mood stabilizer I was on.
- SemanticStrengh 4y agothat is surprising to hear. ltheanine action of GABA should calm/stabilize you. it's action of dopamine might trigger anxiety/anger/mania but the effect is so mild vs caffeine/nicotine/amphetamine that I find it surprising/weird. To be clear we are talking about theanine and not theine.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoBoth Lamotrigine (anticonvulsant) and L-Theanine act on glutamate. Mixing them was a bad, bad idea. I don’t think I slept more than 2 hours a day most of March. (My psychiatrist was not happy.)
- rejectfinite 4y agoMaybe dont mix shit if you already have fucking BIPOLAR! Let us that are normal and know what we are doing keep our drugs. Yes, caffeine and l-theamine are drugs.
