L-theanine vs. Xanax. I take L-theanine gummies from @BrainMD Health

Theanine versus Xanax. So I've been a psychiatrist for 45 years and I've seen a lot of people take both. L-theanine works. From green tea, it decreases anxiety, it decreases stress, virtually no side effects. Xanax works probably faster, stronger, but a whole bunch of side effects, including stealing your soul. Because when people started, and often you go to the emergency room, you had a panic attack, the emergency room doctor said, you're fine, here's Xanax or Ativan or Klonopin or Valium, Librium for anxiety. And tells you to follow up with your family doctor. In fact, you don't have a family doctor. So now you're on something that's addictive, that really works. So you want more and over time, it takes more and more to get the same response. So if you've not had either, and you're anxious, theanine would always be my first choice.
