L-theanine No Appetite

I took L-theanine for anxiety and it helps but I have no appetite what so ever and I love to eat. It was kinda too good to be true that I would be able to tolerate it. I also tried 5-htp and had a decreased appetite and way too hyper. I refuse to take meds for anxiety so if you have any suggestions please help. Let me know your experience on L-theanine.

Have you tried Valerian root?

I take valerian as needed for anxiety and it doesn't make me sleepy.  Everybody's different, though, you could try it and see how it affects you.  Another herb that I heard was good, although I haven't tried it personally, is holy basil.

kava is the best herbal remedy for anxiety. some say it can cause liver damage--but this is extremely rare when used as directed.

Vitamin C or Stress B with C in it, Calcium Magnesium, kava (don't overuse)
