    artistnurse:

    Do you mean "Theanine"? It seems to work a lot like Buspirone, in that it is a GABAergic anxiolytic.

    General experience with those types of anxiolytics: 50/50.

    No, but I will be very interested in the responses. Never heard of it.

    Never heard of it either.

    Will move this to the Stress Forum for you.
