The anticonvulsive action of taurine, was tested in 9 therapy in 9 therapy-resistant patients with a high incidence of seizures. Taurine was given orally (1.5-7.5 g daily) over a period of 4 to 16 weeks and, despite the high dosage, no appreciable side effects were observed. During this time seizures disappeared temporarily for about two weeks in 5 out of 9 cases. In one case the seizure frequency was transiently reduced by approximately 25%, whilst in the remaining 3 cases no effect of taurine on seizure frequency was observed. The reason for the rapid disappearance of the anticonvulsive action of taurine is not known.
