I have read that L-theanine is an NMDA Glutamine receptor antagonist (or was it AMPA glutamine receptors?? correct me). Possibly this is similar to effects of Ketamine or PCP in certain people that might already be predisposed to faulty NMDA receptor activation? Of course, its rare to hear of psychoses from L-theanine, but who knows. The link to NMDA receptors in Schizophrenia is also validated. Just a few random thoughts on this topic.
