I had my doubts about Theanine and all be hype around it on this forum. I had used it here and there in the past and never really noticed much. However I have an acute stress I am trying to supplement my way out of (posted about here before asking for a supp stack) and the upcoming stress (family visit from people I don't get along with) had my shoulders/traps/neck completely locked up. That area was so tense it was hard to move my head. I tried a lot of things including: magnesium, Epsom baths, massage and release, potassium, aspirin, etc etc. Nothing worked. I started to accept that I would just be a knotted ball of stress until they left. And then yesterday I took 200mg Theanine first thing in the morning and about 2 hours later I noticed I could move my head freely and there was little pain remaining. !!!! Once the pain returned I dosed Theanine again and holy hell, it worked. I can hardly believe it. I am very pleased of course, but also a bit disturbed that the physical manifestation of emotional stress might literally be all in my head.
