In reply to Taurine dose? Amino-acid complex?, posted by MM on August 31, 2005, at 1:18:41
> I read through old posts to try to answer my question but I found people taking many different doses so I was just wondering if there's any consensus or what experiences have been (as far as a Taurine dose for Bipolar/Anxiety/Depression). Anything I should be cautious of? In reading through the board I found I should get my mom on it too. I'm also wondering about an amino-acid complex. I don't eat much meat (maybe once a week, most likely chicken) as I have just never liked it much. I try to eat protein though, in cheese, beans, peanut butter, milk, but I'm sure I don't get enough of it. Would it be a good idea to take an amino complex? Thanks for any replies....I sometimes get the feeling that my posts are well, dumb or something or maybe even offensive? because I don't get many replies. Lol, if that's the case, please let me know as I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
> MegOh, your posts are fine.
Taurine is great of bipolar/anxiety. good doses are 500-2000mg/day.
Beware of some of the amino acid complexes, though. Many of them contain glutamate which is very bad for people with bipolar and depression. The Tyrosine component often also makes bipolars more edgy (particularly the rapid cyclers). Histidine is something else that should be avoided by some people as well.
