Saw this site that gives reactions to L-theanine:

Therefore, I've had to discipline myself to be a "read-only" PB participant until these projects are behind me. I scan the boards every other day or so to try to keep track of how people are doing, and I scan for information on meds and supplements that are potentially applicable to my situation. These boards serve me well when it comes to med/supplements information. For example, it was posts by viridis (and others) that first alerted me to the possible benefits of l-theanine ( http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030301/msgs/205138.html ). And, of course, I have to scan the admin board to keep up on the daily soaps.

> Yes, magnesium is a very important part of my cocktail. I’ve taken magnesium for a long time. I currently take 600 mg (measured as elemental magnesium) every night at bedtime. It is a GREAT sleep aid; I fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly. I believe the magnesium helps my brainchemistry directly via biochemical mechanisms and it also helps my brainchemistry indirectly via the improved sleep.
