Kava keeps me going.
Welcome, @TheanineLife! So you got lucky first time out! Took me a while to find "the one" but I've since found several that may suit my needs. Sometimes they don't work so well but other times they're just perfect. So what's with the name there? Do you take theanine too? Anxiety prone?

Yeah I used to be a highly anxious person. Would even j-walk across streets to avoid walking by strangers. Now I literally have no anxiety, on no substance, thanks to theanine. I ingested 200mg-400mg daily for about 6 months and through that time put myself into situations that'd make me anxious and just learned to see it as something to not have worry about. I rarely take it nowadays but it's what it represents to me. To always be calm, joyful, and caring.

Which brand of theanine did you take? I have bad anxiety and I'm looking to taper off Ativan

I used/use Free form powder and I use a scale to dose. Theanine is dirt cheap if you do this. Supplement capsules are extremely overpriced, and can contain D-Theanine which is useless you need L-Theanine 100% I just looked at amazon and for 60 pills of 200 mg it is 13$. so 60 doses at 200 mg. I bought 125g for 20$, so 625 doses at 200mg. Plus 20$ for a scale. I bought from nootropicsdepot.com. I personally found myself using less and less at a dose. I found I was able to maintain a focused mind on less as I became more clearheaded and mentally stronger. If I dose now I take 70mg. I'd recommend sitting and doing nothing while on theanine for awhile and just pay attention to yourself and try not to think and relax. Then do that 24/7 throughout you're day. It's not a miracle substance but a little helper that has no side effects and dramatically improved my life. Best of luck in your battle for peace of mind. You can do it

Thanks for the info @Skitty ! I do take l-theanine 200mgs in capsule form. I THINK it works to a degree but never tried taking more. Might give it a try on my kava-free days! Not many of those just lately though!
