Have you tried Monster Nitro. They work pretty good too.

Reply #7 - Sep 11^th, 2011 at 10:13pm Yea, it's something I definitely won't do routinely but it was a necessity with the hits coming hard and the O2 gone. I've tried Monster along with a bunch of other Taurine drinks but sugar-free Red Bull is still my favorite.

Obviously the different size cans should be considered when asking daily quantity.

Over the past few weeks of this light cycle, I average two to three 8 oz RedBull cans daily, average 3 attacks daily.

If required, I would certainly consume as many as it takes.

I'm currently in very light cycle in terms of frequency and intensity, and praying it stays that way til it ends.

My typical cycle consists of 8x day attacks for 10 weeks.

The taurine in Red Bull acts as a calcium channel antagonist, just like verapamil does, so the effect is cummulative.

fwiw, I average about 4 of the larger Monster energy drinks a day, some days I can double that. Yesterday an attack got through, and again today (kinda broke lately so stopped my monster intake) but these two are the first attacks I've had in a very long time now. no meds, no o2, just regular monster intake. Gotten so used to em I can down a BFC monster and still turn over and fall asleep. Still can't stomach the red bulls.

I have found they work best in conjunction with O2. And I suspect your body can habituate to the taurine much the same as it does to the caffeine. You'll end up getting much less benefit as time goes by, and needing to increase your intake just to get some benefit from the drink. Maybe not, but perhaps a wise word of caution on excess.

RedBull was 100% effective at the beginning of this cycle, 9 weeks ago. I would slam one 8.4 oz can and within 3 minutes would be PF.

Then I built a tolerance as I was slamming 3 or 4 cans/daily and RedBulls were no longer effective alone.

I recently got o2 and my personal study is that RedBull alone aborts 75% of my attacks if I slam it at onset, THEN hit the oxygen at 25 lpm to 40 lpm. Wink

However, if I get to the o2 1st the oxygen doesn't completely abort my attack and I leave the o2 with a Kip1/2 and then slam a Redbull and find myself PF 90% of the time.

Back to your ? of how many cans in 1 day?....Think i'm at peak cycle getting hit EVERY THREE HOURS AROUND THE CLOCK Angry

, and have drank 5 Redbull 8.4 oz cans in past 15 hours which is most i've ever drank in one day and almost everytime i've had success aborting attacks.

NOTE: I have held off on Verapamil this cycle due to KIP scale rarely exceeding a 7.

Amazing I can now slam a Redbull in middle of the night and go right back to sleep after I abort attack. Probably because i'm so mentally and physically exhausted from being tortured by the claws of the beast in my head Cry

so glad I found this thread

I have been drinking rockstars like nobody's business for a couple months now and I never really knew why. I mean I just grabbed one in lieu of a cup of coffee one morning and it turned my world up-side down (in a good way). I just figured that after the ho-hum drag butt feeling I always have the morning after doing the dance was being relieved because of the massive amounts of EVERYTHING that is in these energy drinks. I was doing some internet surfing/fact finding on mushrooms the other day and landed here. I used to drink 4-6 rockstars a day...... I take 600mg/day verapamil too. not anymore!! thanks for having this thread and opening my eyes to the possible dangers.

Since you're talking about energy drinks ... This may not be the same as Red Bull, but check out this link about a 10 year hospitalized after consuming a MONSTER energy drink. (Louisville, KY. news channel; October 11, 2011 --> Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

or

Quote:

The American Association of Poison Control Centers said there have already been 331 cases of severe effects from the energy drinks in teens and children this year alone.

Pediatricians also warn parents if their child is on any medications that are used for ADHD or ADD, energy drinks can be extremely dangerous.
