Answered by Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (27 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No, there are no interactions

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

L- theanine is safe to use and is approved by US food and drug administration as dietary supplement.

With Xanax and Cymbalta there areno negative interactions. I mean to say that it is safe to use along with above two medications.

There is possibility that with continued use you may need to lower the dose of Cymbalta or/and Xanax as L theanine have anti anxiety properties.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
