> Larry, I have found Taurine to have effects much in line with benzos, without all of the side effects. (i.e. drowsiness, forgetfullness) I have been using it on and off over the past year, because I used to have to get it imported at a local health food store. (And the cost was much too.) Now, with cheaper prices, I am going to even further expand my use of it, mainly to help me get through anxious times when my mood stabalizer and benzos aren't enough.
I got the impression that you were thinking about using it, and you are already using it. Sneaky. (teasing)
> I also found a few abstracts on PubMed suggesting, as may have been the case with your friend you mentioned above, that it may have some use in alcoholism. I *also* know for a fact there are a few drug companies looking into Taurine, and possibly making subtle changes as a good mood regulator and also for seizures.To make taurine into a patentable drug, they need only change a single atom, although it's likely that there might be more substantive changes made to the basic molecule.
> I will try to keep up to date on my experiences with it on here, and would really suggest to you and others to possibly give it a whirl. It may be 'brain food' to assist protection from a number of mental health conditions.
