I started with 200mg caffeine tablet and 200mg L theanine. It increased my motivation for the first couple of hours. After that, I just wanted to sleep. Then about 6 hours later, even talking to my housemates made me anxious.
I later read I needed a 2:1 ratio of caffeine to theanine. So the next day, I did 400mg theanine to 200mg caffeine. Same outcome. The following day, I reduced the dosage to 200mg theanine to 100mg caffeine. Still the same outcome.
You stated the needed ratio is 2:1 caffeine to theanine, but it looks, from what you said that you took 2:1 thenine to caffeine - or maybe its just the way you wrote it.
I recently discovered colloidal gold (CG) - which I'll be using nootropically, and then some - going forward - once I kick this eye infection, as I'm on MIR at the moment. I'm looking forward to continuing OF. Perhaps give CG a go.
Quote:I did the same with wheat last May. When I reintroduced wheat in my diet, I could tell how I was slowly getting anxious and short-tempered. From my experience, gluten sensitivity is not a myth. I avoid gluten when I can now. I don't think I will quit gluten products completely though. I still have some pasta or bread about once a week. I may reduce the frequency in the future. What's life without pasta, bread and croissants though?
I recently got some gluten free flour which is working well. Yesterday I purchased the individual flours to make up my own blend. GF is where its at for me. Yep, do miss those 'breads'
