I've heard that theanine taken with 5htp is very good as the theanine raises dopamine and can depress serotonin - so the 5htp offsets that. I might be trying this soon, along with the usual taurine.

BTW I like taurine, but I'm wondering if some of my recent insomnia has been due to taking it too late in the day. I find it balancing but not sedating. I have once in the past found it to be depressing, but at that time I was taking too much (over 2g) a day, and also not eating enough protein to balance out the amino intake.

Valerian root can be very good IF you react to it with increased GABA. On some people it has the opposite effect.

I believe kava can be very good for anxiety - I think it works best taken traditionally i.e. mixing ground root up with water.
