Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 We are trying Taurine now. No affect yet - it's been about two weeks. Started at 1500mg a day ( three doses of 500 mg) but now I'm using 2000mg a day. It seems there may have been a slight reduction in the number os absence seizures per day. My son has started to mumble now when he has a seizure. He seems to be repeating numbers which is something he normally does to self soothe anyway. I'm not sure if this indicates anything at all. I'm wondering if he is trying to comfort himself and relax out of the seizure. This number mumbling starting when I increased the Taurine dosage an extra 500 mg. We had a bit of discussion about Taurine on the list a few weeks back when I began trying it so you might want to check the archive messages to read more on this subject. Good Luck... keep us posted on what you are trying and what effect you are getting if any. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 , I'm probably not a person to get advice from. I am just feeling my way in the dark for my son. The Taurine is not a prescription medication. It is an Amino -Acid food supplement. You can purchase it at a Vitamin Store. I have heard that some brands are better - though I don't have any specifics. I just use the Vitamin Shoppe Brand for my son at present. I'm sure others on the list are more knowledgeable. I hope you have some sucess soon! Good luck to you. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 : I just wanted to say thank you for the response. I am very concerned about anything that might help or harm me in any way. I am willing to try anything if my epitologist referes it to me for i trust he has my best interest in mind. Again, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I don't have the time to look for it, but I did see something about it on an MD's website under the treatment section. I think it was from Prohealth website. Can't remember which MD. I am going to buy it and take it because it extends the life of cells, and we have a problem with increased and early cell death. My only concern is that it can cause vasodilation, which could not be good for me, since I used to get a lot of migraines prior to taking topomax. From what I have read about people who take it, you don't take it every day, so it still may be ok to take. I do take another antioxidant intermittantly that can cause vasodilation (pycnogonol, for my skin and antiaging) and I seem to be able to not have any side effects. I have been waiting for it to become available. From what I have read online, it is supposed to be great for decreasing cell death. Any other info from others would be appreciated. **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
