Hmmm. Yeah, I think I took 250mg 2 or 3 times a day, but maybe only needed 2.
Can you tell me more of what you know about taurine? Does it squash down glutamate (I want it to). Does it slow firing of norepinephrine (I think it does, not sure). Does it slow firing of dopamine?
Taurine for fear type symptoms. I like that. I just need more dopamine action at the same time, so that's kind of tricky. Not sure how to do that. Tyrosine gives me a nice dopamine effect, but it also gives me too much norepinephrine which I don't want.
