L-Theanine made my brain super active (in a negative way)

[manuel bon]

I take daily supplements like reishi, lions mane, vitamin D (I have a slight deficiency), and some Chinese herbs like Buzhong Qi Chi Yan and Whuolo Yan (I think these are the names, probably misspelled) I started reading about L-Theanine and it's benefits so I gave it a try. After 1 week or 10 days I felt my mind was super active every day, but in a very distracting way. It was very difficult to focus on anything, whether is a simple task, guitar practice, reading, meditating... My mind was just thinking so much about random stuff. I stopped taking it 2 days ago and I already feel better. Do you also have a similar experience with this supplement?

@Michael569 thank you! Yeah I've been taking all the rest for some time, and I started feeling like this with l theanine

I have the same experience on l-theanine.

It’s similar to coffee for some people

If you want less brain activity try GABA supplements. GABA is a neurotransmitter that handles brain activity and other stuff.
