I'm glad it's working for your husband, Froggy. I am going to include my post from another thread in case it may help anyone else.
 
Hi all,  
I'm one of the big supporters of Monster Khaos...in some instances I have also tried and had success with Red Bull and the SoBe drink...  
 
I can't explain the reason it works so well as an abortive, but I will explain my situation. About 4 weeks into my episode, which started two days before Turkey Day, I read about Red Bull and tried it...didn't like the taste, though. I then purchased Monster Khaos and found the taste to be better. Whenever I felt a CH coming on, I'd wait a few minutes just to make sure it was more than a shadow and then I'd literally pound a glass or two of Monster ice cold. The pounding is literally that, a breath or two and down the hatch.  
 
Just like that, CH gone within 5-8 mins. Oddly enough, I haven't had any "energy effects", meaning I don't feel any more energized than I did before the CH. I keep the drinks in my desk (I'm a high school teacher) and I have had to drink them warm...same success rate, though. Maybe it's the pounding...  
 
I will also note that I am on Verapamil 360mg/ day(120 in the am and 240 pm) and I don't drink the energy drinks for any other reason than to abort a CH. I'm currently in week 8 (this is my first ever episode) and I've been lucky to find something that works. For the last 2-2.5 weeks, I've had no more than one CH per day usually between 7-9 am...Hopefully, I'm nearing the end...  
 
Hope this helps,  
CG  
 

 
By the way, I'm CH free since Tuesday at 7am...keep you fingers crossed for me Cheesy Cheesy

Going on a couple of weeks now and still doing good.  Night time is still the issue, thank God for Imitrex.
