Taurine (An Amino Acid) & Other Nutrients

For the longest time, I've been touting Taurine here for fighting anxiety. I've never seen where anyone else agreed with me or said they had tried it too. I pretty much felt "ignored" when I brought the subject up, to be frank. Nonetheless, I was helped by Taurine so much that I continued to share my "secret weapon" anyhow! I remember looking online for some sort of help when my anxiety level was out of control and I was getting no help from my clinic's doctors! I found one link about Taurine, thank goodness!
Today, I decided to see if I could find other links that agreed with what I'd been saying about taurine and anxiety and VOILA'! I found plenty!
My point is that I hope that many of the ones suffering with anxiety on here will consider the possibility that there could be nutritional deficiencies in their diets, such as deficiencies in the B vitamins, magnesium, and taurine. Goodness, with everything being taken out foods these days, I'd not be surprised if there aren't many more!
Folks, meds aren't our only weapons! Don't discount the nutrients that our bodies need! Just try doing a google search on taurine and anxiety or magnesium and anxiety, etc. You'll be surprised! and hopefully, you'll be helped! That's my hope for you! :)

I just read a little about it and I'm going to find some tomorrow! Thanks jl!

You are so welcome!
I must admit that i was quite skeptical the first time I tried taurine. I know it sounds totally stupid, but I didn't take it b/c I was afraid it wouldn't work! It was like my "last hope" and I kept putting off trying it. one morning i was terribly anxious and my mom asked me if I had anything I could take for my anxiety. I told her that I had the taurine, but I had never tried it. She said for me to give it a try. What good was it if I didn't give it a chance? I went into my room, got it out, and took two 500mg capsules. I was wanting to cry b/c I just "knew" it wouldn't work and then I would be left without any hope...no straws to clutch at any more! After I gulped them down, I went back to the other room where my Mom was and sat down. I was shocked! I actually started to feel calmer! I knew it wasn't a placebo effect b/c I hadn't really believed it was going to work anyway! Since then, I've had friends and family try it and be helped by it. I'm not saying that it is a cure-all. And maybe not everyone will have the same success I did. I dunno. But it is so cheap and also good for the heart! What have we got to lose?!
If you try it, let us all know what you think!
