I took a medication of melatonin and l-theanine to help me sleep. It seemed to work well! It was with the vitamins in the drugstore.

I've read lots of articles that say that magnesium deficiency is a major cause of anxiety. I've been taking magnesium supplements for several months but it hasn't helped; however, I'm taking a low dose and my anxiety is mostly "situational."

I tried the L-Thianine tablets to counter the effects of cortisol , it had no effect. I tried the Green Tea tablets containing L-Thianine at a lower concentration, it had no effect. Strangely, when I drink brewed Green Tea with comparatively low concentrations of L-Thianine I get the impression it helps. Placebo effect? If it works don't fix it.

I had tried GABA but no luck. I read that it really doesnt work great in tablet form. I have tried L-theanine for under the tounge. Some mild effectiveness with that. I have had some success with CALM.. it is a MG supplement that you just add to water. Alot of times we are low on MG.
