hey, ed_uk...
...OK, I added taurine because I read a brief synopsis of this study (maybe 2, I forget) where they used 4 grams/day w/ an atypical (unnamed) for psychosis, and got good results. Also, there's some interest in taurine for anxiety, agitation, generall calm the hell down type stuff.
So, the taurine seems to smooth things out for me. Also, I ripped off this Loreal pill that they distribute in the UK and Europe, maybe elsewhere (just not the US)...Hair Mass. Taurine+zinc+green tea extract+grape seed extract. Its supposed to make your hair...well..better, slow down hair loss, etc. I coupled that (I used much higher doses than the loreal supplement) w/ soy isoflavones to see if I could drop Propecia and not lose more hair.
I'm happy to report...I'm calm, my psych meds work well w/o eps and such (I'm prone to eps and dysphoria), and my hair is awesome, all things considered. Seriously...that Loreal supplement (or my rip off of it) works quite well...my hair used to be not only thinning, but each strand was brittle and growing progressively thinner (I think that's typical of hair loss).
With the taurine and everything on board, my hair has thickened up nicely and its ridiculously glossy. The downside is that it grows crazy fast, so I'm getting hair cuts more frequently, lol.
On a more serious note...I've found that the combo of high dose niacinamide+varying amounts of taurine really calms me down. Over the long haul, I'd say its better than Klonopin was, and it may actually help, not hinder, my concentration. Also, like I wrote above, TD and EPS haven't popped up and my meds seem to work better...I get good control of paranoia, low moods, agitation, anxiety, psychosis, etc., and my concentration and ability to function in society is much better than before the Orthomolecular cocktail (Linus Pauling OM was centered on C; Abram Hoffer's was centered on B3).
Hope this helps.
