Can Alprazolam And L-Theanine Be Taken Together?
I have been talking 1 mg Alprazalam for the past 10 years and trying to wean off it. I did some research on L-Theanine and want to know if it is safe to take both or cut way down on the Alprazalam? I had taken 1/2 mg alprazolam this morning then later took after I ate L-Theanine, got real relaxed, also a bit drowsey. Should I take the L-Theanine at bedtime without the alprazolam? Thanks, Lorna

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
L-Theanine is used as anxiolytic.Interactions of L-Theanine with other drugs are not well documented.Hence dosage of Alprazolam needs to be reduced to daily to start with and monitor dose as per the effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
