Sure. When you consider additional interaction with AAS effects my curiosity has me wondering if you are doing more harm than good combining high dose oral taurine with AAS use. I am going back to critically examine everything I was taking at the time of my AFIB incident. My records indicate 2-3 grams daily on top of the other stuff I was using.

Good find. There's no such thing as a perfectly innocuous and benign supplement to throw into a stack because it's "good for the liver" or "good for the heart" or whatever the reasoning may be. I've learned that if you think it can't hurt you, you just haven't looked into it deeply enough yet.
I have noticed something at work, the people that have desk jobs are the ones drinking these energy drinks, not the guys moving around on their feet all throughout their shift.
So you caught the afib on your Kardia? Glad it went away quickly. Thanks for your reply. Good point on the cramps. Amazing how we all respond differently with the dose response. I look forward to hearing about your Hct reduction with your dose reduction. Great job looking out BigTex. I am back up to 100 mg/week TC/TP blend. Anxiety is still high but fortunately haven't had any measured arrythmia lately. The anxiety is a pain. My HRR used to be 40 to 50 bpm after 2 min and now my HRR is sometimes 0 to negative 5 to 10 bpm. Cardiologist thinks it is anxiety and everyone wants to put you on SSRIs (Lexapro/Mirtazipine, etc.).In the BB world taurine is commonly used to counteract the cramps some get using clenbuterol. It is said clenbuterol depletes taurine in the body leading to cramps, usually potrassiumis added. The taurine dose is about 3-5g. I guess what is happening is as others make mistakes we are learning from those mistakes in science. I have never messed with clenbuterol but have used albuterol a few times. Never used taurine either, nor energy drinks. That is all I need to do is make my blood pressure higher.
Hey, I had a-fib again almost two weeks ago. I noticed a high heart rate early in the morning. I had already purchased one of those 6 lead mobil EKG readers. So I actually got the a-fib on paper. It completely was gone the next morning. No problem since then. I did send my cardiologist the graph.
The effects of the beta 2-agonist drug clenbuterol on taurine levels in heart and other tissues in the rat - PubMed
The administration of a single subcutaneous dose of clenbuterol to rats altered the level of taurine in certain tissues. Taurine levels in cardiac tissue were significantly decreased 3 h after the administration of 250 micrograms/kg of clenbuterol and remained significantly depressed at 12 h...
I was interested in the first article above from a taurine perspective although the energy drink angle is interesting for many.
Never had issues with ECA stacks (ripped fuel, thermadrene) long ago but there was a product called herbal ecstasy that really did a number on a few people I knew. Who knows what was in some of this stuff including Ultimate Orange. As you get older I like your advice to leave the stims alone.
Yea, I am impressed with the Kardia. I got no response from my cardiologist until over a week later and he called and wanted me to wear a monitor. I said NO. The A-fib is gone and you just did an ECHO. The monitor is just going to detect a normal HR.
If you remember, that too got abused badly so now it is almost impossible to find ephedrine. Yea, I stay away from the stimulants too. They all jack your blood pressure up.
