(3 pack) Spring Valley L-Theanine Dietary Supplement Capsules for Mood Support, 100 mg, 100 Count

I have ME/CFS and one of my symptoms is being hyper alert all the time and it's exhausting and stressful. Car rides are a misery and driving can be terrifying; crowds, noise, bright lights.... all tend to be interpreted as dangers so I'm constantly on the alert. I'm always on the lookout for new tweaks for treating my symptoms and making my life a bit easier. The l- theanine has calmed that 'fight/ flight' jumpiness noticeably in just a few weeks. I have been less tense in the car, less reactive to stimuli in general, have felt less tension in my muscles, and have been able to cut back a little on a medication that deals with stress- related IBS. I have noticed no side effects as yet; I am especially happy that drowsiness isn't even listed, so I can take this to make trips outside my home bearable even when I drive. I haven't really felt less brain fog or improved mental clarity, but that may come in time, and even if it doesn't, the reduction in the physical symptoms is more than reason enough to continue taking this.
