Why would you?: Theanine is the major Amino Acid found in green tea, and some use it hoping for relaxing & calming effects. There's not much evidence documenting its effectiveness, though. Some animal studies suggest theanine might decrease the effect of stimulants. Strattera (atomoxetine) isn't a stimulant like caffeine, but is given to increase focus and concentration. Please talk with your own doctor about your concerns.
