Hello,

 

I'm an idiot and took much L-Theanine. I measured out 2 grams of the stuff and took it on Tuesday and Wednesday around 11am on both days. I felt relaxed and calm for a couple of hours on both days, then my mind started racing out of control afterward. It put me into a terrible, angry mood for a couple of hours on both days. I realized later on, that I should have been taking around 200mg of the stuff.

Will this cause any sort of permanent damage or will my brain balance itself out?  I didn't take any Theanine today and feel fairly normal.  Drank 2 cups of joe so I feel slightly irriable and uptight from that (which I normally do).  I still feel a little off though.  Slightly more difficult to focus than usual, but not by a lot.

 

Your advice is appreciated,

 

Green

half life is about 3 hours, so it is out of your system by now.  I never heard of accidental dose that high.... but I highly doubt any damage was done.. I would not worry

People have taken many times as much and been fine. Don't worry about it.

On the danger scale, you don't even register. You're just going to feel a bit sedated and unfocused.

I think you'll be just fine. L-theanine appears to be amazingly safe. http://examine.com/s...anine/#summary7

 

Overdosing on green tea extract (EGCG) is a real possibility though.
