MichaelTampa Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm an adult with TS. My symptoms are more emotional, sensory sensitivity, and the more traditional uncontrolled movements are more like spasms than tics that really move body parts noticeably. That said, I have tried taurine a number of times, and my body has already reacted negatively. It has kept me up all night and made my head feel "weird" and overall made me feel generally "just not right". I always have my supplements energy tested to make sure my body really needs them and will react well. Even so, I have reacted badly to taurine in this way, and also to tryptophan (coincidentally or now, another amino acid). Very interesting.
