So matcha can make me feel wired but in a different way to coffee. I do feel more organised but no matter what stimulant I'm on it's hard to get that initial focus and not feel like I'm chewing away at nothing (and then invariably it takes me ages to fall asleep).
Matcha has some of the highest natural content of L-theanine but apparently to get the ideal ratio of L-theanine to caffeine you usually have to take a supplement.
What happens when your don't take any matcha or stimulants at all? Though, the body gets habituated to it so it can take a long time to get through the withdrawal effects...
Same here! It's cool to know I'm not alone with the way stimulants affect me. I've heard most people I know with ADHD say that meds have changed their life for the better and wonder why I didn't have the same experience.
Without stimulants, I feel less anxious, but still super tired. But I haven't given them a long enough break, afaik, to really notice the difference. How about you?
