I suffered from anxiety for 4 years and I have tried many different things. Looking at the Internet, I read about L-Theanine and it seems to be not having side effects like Kava Kava and anti- anxiety drugs. However, I have also read that it coul increse the anxiety levels for people suffering from acute anxuety. I would be really grateful if you could give an advice, I am having a really bad time because of this problem. Thank you hi Lucy,

Is it safe to take L-Theanine and Ativan together? If not, do you know how many hours I should wait in between? Hi LucyE,

I take ativan also and I am attempting to ween off of it. Is it safe to take L-Theanine and Ativan together? If not, do you know how many hours I should wait in between?

I have been on L-Theanine since January and I am very happy with the results. Most days, I only take 100 mg but during periods of stress, I increase it to 200 mg. I have also found that a 100 mg dose before as stressful event (such as performing before a live audience!) helps a great deal. ***Please note: if you are taking anti-anxiety drugs, keep taking them and only make a change with your doctors supervision. Quitting anti-anxiety drugs "cold turkey" can have serious mental and physical effects. Under my doctors supervision, I was able to wean myself off of Ativan.
