Hi tealady -
good to hear something is working for you - I take kelp powder sometimes or just try to eat lots of seafood (I'm not bothered about PCBs really - maybe I should be).
I can't take tyrosine either - makes me nuts. I have enough dopamine these days to drive an army - apart from at night when I conk out early (which is good I think - a real improvement for me).
About the dose - well, my diet is really high in animal products right now and I think I'm probably getting some taurine because of that anyway - BUT apparently heat does destroy this amino and I don't eat all raw meat etc!
When I was vegan a couple of years back (never ever ever ever again I can tell you) I was taking about 1g of taurine a day and feeling ok - but eventually that did build up on me as well. Taurine does indeed build up or is retained.
I'm still magnesiuming though - that is more important to me.
Tealady I do well with B1 as well - but recently I haven't seemed to need taking extra since I started on these 'food-grown' vitamins - very expensive but they seem to work well.
