Post by Radha on Jul 22^nd, 2006, 11:37pm

how much taurine do you take to abort a headache once you get it?? and how quickly does it usually work? i doubt it would be as fast as imitrex right? thanks

My experience is with RedBull as an abortive. It works FAST (5 minutes). I think that BarryColes is using taurine supplements as a prevent, not an abortive.

I know Barry has said before, but how much does he (or you Barry, if you read this) take a day? And does he /you take anything else like Kudzu?

Hi Shane
I am taking
3 X 500mg Taurine & 3 X 500mg magnesium tablets per day with my meals and no other meds.
I have found that if I don’t take them when they are due I will start to shadow hard.
I am using it as a preventative and it looks like it's working.

I am going bush for the rest of the week and won’t be able to log in again until the weekend, I’ll check in then if you need more info.

Here’s the link to the post about the trial if you want to have a look, the BLOG is not up to date cos I been a little busy just lately.

Thanks for the quick response Barry. I would like to get more info when you return as I am looking to get off the current method of preventatives. Have a good week.
