So you were probably wondering if I were going to try to use taurine to prevent tolerance of stimulants. I was just trying to find out if it might have some of that effect if/when the days comes that I might need it.

I was feeling very ill from the MSG, when I suddenly recalled that an "antagonist" (used loosely) for glutamate was taurine. A couple grams of taurine, and I felt very well indeed.
