Phillipa,
As I've mentioned, I do think that taurine is worth considering for anxiety, and I think that it may be helpful in augmenting other biological treatments for anxiety. I should point out, however, that I have read of some cases on this board of taurine actually making anxiety worse. Like most treatments, I think that taurine's capacity to produce an anti-anxiety response probably varies from one individual to the next (and probably also on the type of anxiety that one's experiencing).
On a positive note, though, taurine is relatively inexpensive, and its effects can usually be felt within 10-15 minutes of taking it. So, even if you try taking taurine and find that you don't respond favorably to it, you'll know that this is the case right away without having wasted hundreds of dollars and/or weeks or months of your time.
