> Interesting about the taurine. I've been looking it up on the boards. It turns out that some is in the Nitroplex whey protein drink I take for chronic fatigue syndrome. I don't know what dose yet. I'll research and find some alone at the health store. Getting back on vitamins and supplements is a priority I think.
I got 10 oz. bulk taurine for $12, or something like.
> Your (Larry's) theory about Campral (a pharmaceutical drug, so we are still on the right board) and taurine connection that I saw elsewhere is of interest to me because Campral was the most mysterious drug I ever took as far as information on what it did (last year) It was helpful though. I relapsed after I ran out?
I didn't know you had already used Campral, James. I truly think they're just trying to find something patentable that still works. I'm not sure Campral is superior to taurine, is what I'm saying. I haven't seen a study which did a head to head comparison.
> I was still emotionally disturbed though. I was taking it with naltrexone which was horrible for me, but the campral wasn't.

> James KTaurine, by itself, is generally very calming. When I look back at what I wrote back when I did my initial experiments, taurine made me feel as if I didn't need a benzo, rather than making me feel as if I had taken one. In the context of drinking, it is precisely the right kind of effect to try and induce.
