Taurine and Abilify

It’s worth noting that although no evidence shows that taking taurine alongside prescription medications causes side effects, it acts as a cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitor (5Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).

This means it could interfere with medications that rely on this enzyme to metabolize drugs, such as antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, warfarin, and statins (5Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).

From Google:

Aripiprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily of enzymes, mainly CYP2D6 and CYP3A4

I’ve been experimenting with Taurine and it didn’t work out. I’m on Abilify. So that’s probably why.

But Taurine is in a lot of energy drinks in high doses too.

So be careful out there!

Didn’t notice any changes (weight,energy…)
