Here is the wiki on theanine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theanine

No mention of antidepressants on this source:
http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supple...tName=THEANINE

Now with SNRIs --theanine might interact with the norepi reuptake functions... but that is only a maybe.
But I did not find an interaction at "drug checker" at www.drugs.com between Cymbalta and l-theanine.

So it is looking benign except for the potential lowering of blood pressure in certain people.
