Hi, Sertraline( Zoloft) and Bupropion( Wellbutrin) are usually prescribed for depression and anxiety conditions. I assume you are taking these medications for the same. L- theanine is not found to be efficacious in these conditions. So my advice to would be-“ no you cannot take L-theanine”
Next Steps
Please visit your psychiatrist and discuss your medications.
