L Theanine

A bit underwhelming compared to inositol or picamilon, but theanine comes without the emotional effects of either.

L Theanine is the other half of the study stack of choice for many users.  It gives a calm focus that stacks well with a stimulant such as caffeine in an equal dose.  Because of the myriad of substances I use, this doesn't do much that another substance wont do, but if you have racing thoughts throughout the day or trouble concentrating on mental tasks, then theanine absolutely can help you.

This post is so short because its really one of the more plain substances.  No interesting interactions besides the commonly recommended study stack of pairing it with caffeine, and often times piracetam or similar.
Cheap, and best bought in bulk.  Its an extremely fine powder with a slightly sweet taste.

I definitely recommend it to those with general anxiety or symptoms of stress.  However, it doesn't work well at all for those suffering from social anxiety.

Rather than giving those people what is often an equally-crippling drug-crutch I wish they would just put them on a reasonable program of TRT.
