I tried 200mg L-theanine pills for some days. I noticed a slightly calming effect, but after the supposed effect wore off, I suffered from unusually high level of anxiety. So I guess it can give you withdrawal symptoms. CBD worked much better for me in that regard.

I started taking 1 x 50mg CBD gummy in the morning about 2 months ago and I can confirm that it is better than L-theanine. My analysis-paralysis is gone. I am moving forward with my life better than I have in 15 years.

I was one of the commenters in the HN thread linked by the blog post, and I do find that L-theanine reduces my coffee jitters.
