read that i shouldn t take taurine with migraine med, sumatriptan,

janet, i googled taurine and am not sure, but think it might not be for me coz i get migraines 2 to 3 times per week, an take sumatriptan. i know this is a reason i can t take zoloft or prozac, cause of danger of serotonin syndrome. does anyone have medical knowledge of this? i ve written it on the list to talk to my dr on friday. feeling a lot better on diazepam since i started it a week ago, but still have breakthrough anxiety. also feel dopey half the time. took caffeine tabss today to see if they helped. sort of did, but felt spacey. really praying that this is not as good as it gets. sorry to sound down, love and blessings to you all

I'm not familiar with taurine or what it may or may not interact with, but it sounds like a wise move to discuss this with your doctor before you take anything,-- even if it's OTC.

You may want to discuss "caffeine tablets" as well, if for no other reason, that can affect anxiety and your heart rate and blood vessel constriction,....so asking about that would be a good idea. It sure wouldn't hurt! Even if the caffeine amount is, let's say, the equivalent of a cup of coffee,....I wonder if because it's in a tablet, the delivery method may be different?

Again, I'm really not familiar.
