Hi All,
I was just wondering if you knew you can buy Taurine powder
on line. Amazon is one place. I'm led to believe you can put
it lemonade, or your coffee, and not taste it.

You can also buy the pill form. I was cautioned against its daily use when using verapamil daily, though. blessings. lance

Thanks Lance.

There is no substitute for the Taurine/Caffeine combo.  In other words, no need to get a caffeine pill or Taurine pill and think you can pop a couple of these and it will provide the same relief; it will not!

One must slam/chug/drink an energy drink as fast as possible at onset of an attack.  The key point is consuming ASAP to get this Taurine/Caffeine combo into your bloodstream ASAP. 

Taurine pills would take too long, similar to Imitrex pills commonly ineffective for CH's as they take too long. 

Super fast ingestion acts as a vasoconstrictor to your trigeminal nerve providing pain relief to many who drink it fast enough, at onset of attack.

Redbull, Rockstar, Monster, NOS, pick your energy drink as long as it has a healthy combo of Caffeine/Taurine.

Try using your search field above at the top of this screen and type in "Red Bull" or "Taurine" or "Energy Drink" and you will find plenty of archives of thread after thread discussing this subject in much greater detail.

A cold RedBull can pressed against the eye/temple feels awesome ;)

How fast can you slam an 8 oz can?  Wanna race?  8-)

Hi Gregg,
It's Taurine powder not the pill form that is giving good results. Just whack it in your coke or coffee. You need to check if it's ok to take with your other meds.

This is a comment made by a friend of mine.
Taurine, the amino acid I take as a preventative, which does the same as Verapamil. Best not to mix. Once I went on taurine I dropped the verapamil. I take 5,000-6,000 mg a day, good to go, barely any headaches. Verapamil did next to nothing. That's my experience and my doctor agrees. Bought over the counter, health food
stores, bottles of 500mg capsules with the powder in it.

Hoppy - how do you dose the taurine? split am/pm, or thru the day?

G'day Lenny,
My friend splits into three doses, 2000mg morning, lunch
and evening, hoping this works for you, and you too,
become pain free.

Best Hoppy
