==Subjective effects==

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effect index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

~~===Physical~~ effects~~===~~

{{effects/base

*'''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' ''and'' '''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - Theanine is mildly stimulating at [[Dosage#light|light]] to [[Dosage#common|common]] dosages but becomes sedating with [[Dosage#Strong|strong]] dosages at around 300mg.

*'''[[Effect::Muscle relaxation]]''' - At [[Dosage#Heavy|heavy]] doses, theanine induces muscle relaxation comparable to that of [[benzodiazepines]].

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - Theanine produces a physical feeling of glowing warmth that is present across the entirety of one's body. This occurs at dosages around 300mg.

~~===Cognitive~~ effects~~===~~

|{{effects/physical|

*'''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' & '''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - Theanine is mildly stimulating at [[Dosage#light|light]] to [[Dosage#common|common]] dosages but becomes sedating starting with [[Dosage#Strong|strong doses]] at around 300mg.

*'''[[Effect::Muscle relaxation]]''' - At [[Dosage#Heavy|heavy]] doses, theanine induces muscle relaxation that are vaguely comparable to that of the relaxation produced by [[benzodiazepines]].

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - Theanine can produce a physical feeling of glowing warmth that is present throughout one's body at higher doses.

*'''[[Effect::Headaches]]'''

}}

|{{effects/cognitive|

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]''' - Theanine produces anxiolytic effects which are comparable to a mild dose of a benzodiazepine but without the accompanying [[disinhibition]].

*'''[[Effect::Mindfulness]]''' - Theanine induces distinctive states of mindfulness more consistently than perhaps any other known psychoactive compound.

*'''[[Effect::Memory enhancement]]'''<ref>A combination of green tea extract and l-theanine improves memory and attention in subjects with mild cognitive impairment: a double-blind placebo-controlled study. (PubMed.gov / NCBI) | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21303262</ref> - Theanine has been shown to improve memory and attention in subjects with mild cognitive impairments.
