It's the verapamil interaction you need to be concerned about. I don't know a lot about it, but I've seen on this board that it can be very dangerous taking the two (verapamil and taurine) together. I don't worry about it because I haven't taken verapamil in over 2 years, but you might want to start digging around.

I am presently on Verap and "Slamming the bull" each time I get an attack. I'm OK, but I do seem edgy and sore all over and very tired most of the time. Maybe I shouldn't be doing them together either.
