In reply to Taurine- I'm confused..., posted by phinxeezaDr on October 25, 2013, at 17:14:30
I don't know what to tell you, lol.
I take 4-6 grams/day, in at least 2 divided doses. The 4 grams comes from a study in Australia (I think...) where they found that 4 grams taurine/day made an AAP work better in acute psychosis. There's also some indication, from animal studies, that taurine may reduce brain damage caused by the neuroleptics and possibly decrease the risk of TD (I take Abilify @ 20mgs/day, so this is a big deal).
I do think taurine kinda sorta helps my anxiety. I also take niacinamide @ 6 grams/day, so its probably the combination that keeps me calm.
Anyway, I'm no taurine expert or anything..just sharing what I do and what I've read with you. Good luck to you!
