Inform your psychiatrist or physician before taking Taurine with Quetiapine. Monitor blood pressure, especially when standing.
Why this interaction occurs
Taurine has demonstrated modulation of GABA-A receptors and glycine receptors and exerts mild inhibitory CNS activity. Quetiapine causes significant sedation and orthostatic hypotension. Taurine's cardiovascular and CNS inhibitory properties may compound these effects, increasing the risk of dizziness, falls, and blood pressure drops, especially during dose initiation or titration of Quetiapine.
Evidence
