> Thnaks for the info, I will see if I can find the post from Ron Hill. I have been taking Theanine for many months. It is calming and allows me to reduce the amount of Tranxene SD I am taking. I can't tell if it is increasing my feelings of depression but I may need to experiemnt with it to find out.
>If you've already been taking it for many months and you don't notice any increased depression, then it's probably not going to be a problem for you. I was just reading that thread by Ron Hill last night. Wish I had bookmarked it but you probably won't have any trouble finding it.
