Just looking to see whos used it with decent results.

We sell a lot of it in our vitamin store. I recommend it to a lot of people.. It's similar to a natural Valium. It does help with sleep. I would mix it with GABA or Phenebut , L- Tryptophan .. to name a few..
Sounds good then. I Had a terrible withdrawl situation with Phenibut. Would i experience anything similar with Theanine?

We use it in our product LeanFuel Extreme.
L-Theanine Effects on the brain
Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, theanine has psychoactive properties. Theanine has been shown to reduce mental and physical stress, and improves cognition and mood in a synergistic manner with caffeine.
While structurally related to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, theanine only has weak affinity for the glutamate receptor on postsynaptic cells. Rather, its primary effect seems to increase the overall level of the brain inhibitory transmitter GABA. Theanine also increases brain dopamine levels and has a low affinity for AMPA, kainate and NMDA receptors. Its effect on serotonin is still a matter of debate in the scientific community, with studies showing increases and decreases in brain serotonin levels using similar experimental protocols. It has also been found that injecting spontaneously hypertensive mice with theanine significantly lowered levels of 5-hydroxyindoles in the brain. Researchers also speculate it may inhibit glutamic acid excitotoxicity. Theanine also promotes alpha wave production in the brain.
Studies on test rats have shown even repeated, extremely high doses of theanine cause little to no harmful psychological or physical effects. Theanine showed neuroprotective effects in one rat study.
A placebo-controlled trial has shown adding theanine to ongoing antipsychotic medication is helpful in reducing some symptoms of schizophrenia.
Several beverage manufacturers are selling drinks containing theanine and are marketing them as drinks to help people focus and concentrate, while other manufacturers claim relaxing and tranquillizing properties.
The propietary blend looks pretty good. ^
Ive noticed with Tea Vs. Coffee, i always feel more focused after drinking large amounts of tea. I'll get scatter brained with coffee though. I believe the Theanine in Tea is what sets the two beverages apart.
Does IronMagLab have anything on the Horizon for a product that can help promote rest/sleep?

^ Prince has a good outline. But this is what I know from our manufacture NOW Vitamins L-Theanine..
An amino acid naturally found in green tea, L-theanine promotes relaxation without the drowsiness or negative side effects associated with other calming agents. L-theanine also supports healthy cardiovascular function through this relaxing effect as well as its antioxidant properties. This formulation also includes inositol, a member of the B-vitamin family that is essential for brain and nervous system health.

It has been used effectively as an alternatve traditional adhd meds when combined with caffeine. I dont have the link handy but i read a study in the journal of nutritional neuroscience related to this so itwillbe easy to trace down.
