Theanine for marijuana addiction (Natural remedy that eases marijuana withdrawal)

[cutfarm]

I tried Theanine for the withdrawl and it really works. Takes the anxiety away completely .. seriously and i was skeptical. I got it in Whole Foods. Its a natural amino acid...

Anyone else tried this?

Also, forgot to add that Theanine is found naturally in Green Tea.

I picked up some L-Theanine a couple of days ago. My wife and I have been having really bad fights from the stress induced by trying to quit. We've been consuming for almost ten years daily and all the joy it once gave us is gone. As it has slowly been diminishing our mental capacity, we decided to quit.

The fights were getting way out of hand. The thought of having to deal with the feeling of frayed nerves for weeks was incomprehensible. I was even thinking of moving out.

I read about the L-Theanine here and decided to try it.
The calming and stress reducing qualities of the L-Theanine are remarkable. We quite literally haven't raised our voices at each other since we started taking it.

We're taking 200mg roughly every 4 hours through out the day. We are taking the Suntheanine brand which is supposed to be much more effective then the other synthetic brands. We bought it at whole foods and it cost $45 for 180 capsules. You can find it for almost half that online.

Might I also add that I have always had fairly bad insomnia. It was one of the reasons that I started smoking, for the first time In my life I was able to sleep through the night.
Well, the L-theanine makes me as groggy at night, if not more so then the weed.

L-theanine has other positive effects as well. It's supposed to help improve concentration and focus. Just what my foggy head needs. It's not like I feel %100 better by any means
but maybe %30 less brain fog. L-theanine is also suppose to boost you immune system.

Please try this is you are having a hard time. It's really made a huge difference for us.
Perhaps this should be a sticky is it's really helping people.
Good luck everyone...

No problem I have made it sticky. I like green tea but I just find it makes me feel a bit on edge, I don’t know if it’s the caffeine or tanning or something, I just don’t get on well with too much tea of any kind. Anyway this is very interesting stuff.

Update I have been taking theanine for 12 days and yes it helps a lot with the anxiety and the low energy levels.

I suffer from severe panic attacks, I'm 26 and it only started a couple of years ago for some reason (panic attacks), doctors don't know the cause they just say that im 100% healthy every time i go see them about this, now that the panic attacks keep on coming back and I am considering maybe getting pills prescribed which i totally disagree with but if you knew what a severe panic attack is you would understand that an anxiety pill might help(destroy your liver/kidneys at the same time), well I don't have insurance anymore ever since I moved to United States since I cant afford it here, so I started to smoke weed to help my panic attacks and anxiety, after couple of years it was damaging me more socially than helping my anxiety panic attacks (which it was, take one hitter of dank weed and BAM no more feeling that you are dying haha), so I researched about healthy alternatives and found out about L Theanine, so I started taking L Theanine a couple of days ago to help ganja withdrawals and my panic attacks, its working , its actually amazing , it feels this should be illlegal because its over the counter pill haha, but yes if I knew this existed before I would of smoked wayyyy less weed and saved thousands of $$$and did not have to risk being caught by police over something that was helping me medically , one cool thing about this pill is that you are recemended to take it on an empty stomach, so every morning I wake up now I take one , no rush on eating since I have busy schedual, im more relaxed now and NOT drowsy like you get from weed, Although I still go see 311 and smoke a bunch of joints haha once in a while, but weed is just for fun now and not so frequent like it used to be, I am honestly happier with my life now than I ever was, try L Theanine , it obviously wont knock you off your feet like weed but you will feel calm and happy , and feel even more happier knowing the pill comes from green tea :P

i read this post about L Theanine, and as i'm struggling with my addiction to weed, i got some off the net, i have been taking 200mg every 4 hours and to my surprise i don't feel cranky having not smoked any weed for 2 days.
I was smoking weed all day every day and as i am on social security benifit i was finding it was taking too much money, as well as me becoming more paranoid and indecisive, i was becoming very anxious too, and had started to buy weed then throw it away or cane it so it was gone, my head was becoming very f**ked.
I have found so far that i can relax, before, my young children visiting when i had no weed would be a nightmare, and i would get really stressed, this is not happening. it really is amazing the effects, i still have kinda wierd dreams, but thats a small price to pay concidering i dont feel the need to smoke weed.

My brother has been a hard smoker for over ten years, his head is totally mashed and hes really anxious, he is at his witts end with not being able to stop smoking weed, even though now it only has a negative effect on him. I have told him about the L Theanine, hopefully he will try it. But until then i must concentrate on my own problem, and maybe it will serve as an good example for him and give him the will to stop.

i have also joined a gym and attend most week days, i have found this to help immensely, even though i did at one point go there after smoking weed, and hurt my back as a result.

Update on the Theanine use. I finished my box I dont use the brand that you guys mention cause its a hole diffrent country but I guess its the same. So as I was saying I finished my first box and I willingly or unwillingly forgot to buy the replacement for about 3 days. By day 2 I was back to being a nervous wreck again, anxious, emotional, I almost cried over 2 glasses of wine, and tired and unmotivated again. So on day 4 I basically ran to the drug store to get some more, day 4 was pretty bad but day 5 is back to feeling pretty good again.
So It does really work and help. the question is how long am I supposed to have to take it, I dont like depending on stuff any more!
