I was thinking about adding taurine to my cocktail to see if it had any effect on GAD/depression symptoms. I see it is used to treat manic symptoms and thought that perhaps it would depress a unipolar (low) patient like myself with GAD. Any thoughts would be great! many thanks,

Mogger,
I used to take taurine to combat my lithium-induced agitation and irritability. It worked pretty well without worsening my depressive symptoms. The downside to it for me was that I used to have to keep taking more of it every few hours if I wanted its effects to last.
It might be worth trying it, if you haven't done so already.

glycine also seems to be a great, fast-working anti-anxiety agent. it's been a miracle in my Parnate withdrawal.

That is awesome. I wonder if it has any effect on glutamate or basically it would be interesting to know in laymans terms how it works on the brain.
