I cannot answer your question in regards to taurine and your medication list.

But here is a pretty good overview ..

I've used taurine for my gall bladder. It has worked for me in doses of a gram a day.

It is also being recommended for diabetics. I am about to start it again, just to see if I detect any differences.

This monograph gives doses for congestive heart issues:

You'll have to discuss this with your doctor. With your medication list you have to discuss EVERYTHING with your doctor!
