Red Bull Actually Worked

Happy to report that I successfully aborted what was shaping up to be a real bastard with a quickly slammed can of Red Bull. I couldn't believe it worked, after about 15 to 20 minutes (all the while cursing Red Bull for a variety of reasons) it evaporated completely. It was my first time to try it and i was shocked, what a freakin' relief... I'm so glad I found this site.
Just wanted to tell someone.

It's quite a shock when it works and you just couldn't believe it could isn't it?!
I can still remember aborting my first hit with O2 (well not my FIRST hit but you know what I mean!) I wanted to rush out nd stop people in the street and tell them, it was such a - miracle. Simply no other way to describe it and Red Bull was the same although I have to say, it tastes like sheet!
The key for me is to chug it as fast as I can as early as I can. For those who find gallumphing fizzy drinks fast you can leave it open in the fridge to go flat. Still tastes vile but it does the trick and you don't get that gassy pain!
I'm really pleased for you

I keep one or two 4 packs in my desk at the office at all times.
Just this morning, I had to chug one, because a co-worker used a hand lotion that for some reason the scent was starting to trigger me.
I can still feel a slight shadow lingering in there, but thats much preferable to hiding in the conferance room with a full blown hit.
I find the taste easier to deal with when the Red Bull is room temp. and easier to chug faster as well. YMMV

If one can doesn't kill the beast, chug one more.
I'm never with out red bull or the many variations (cheaper) there are out there. Glad to hear it helped you.

I like the Mountian Dew, I can slam one 16 oz in about 5 seconds. First choice for success and best in show for economy is coffee. Cheap and fast.

Tony uses Monster Khaos, the taste is so much better than Red Bull.
So glad that this works for anyone.

New to the red bull & love the red bull but have a question. I sculled it this morning, empty stomach, and it shortened the CH but left me feeling absolutely horrid and shakey. Anyone else have this? Do i have to try and eat something before the red bull?

I sometimes get jittery when I drink coffee or eat vitamins on an empty stomach so I would guess the caffiene and B vitamins in RB could do the same.
Last night, the RB knocked down my CH but it never fully went away for approx. 5 or 6 hours when I slammed another one in aggrevation. Still an unbelievable success, but not as good as the night before. It got me thinking, will we build a tolerance to the effects of RB and eventually it will lose some of it's effectiveness?
Thanks again for the support guys.

JMC, you stole the words right from me  Tony feels funky if he does have to take it on an empty stomach. I would imagine it's real comprable to drinking a few cups of coffee with vitamins first thing in the morning.
Duckie, great to hear it worked! Hopefully you'll be able to "tweak" the system so you can get the drink down with no problems. Have you read the thread "2 Red Bulls"?

It works faster on an empty stomach, but will still work if you've eaten something.
When I get hit, it happens fast. Like within 5 minutes fast. I'm usually not thinking about whether or not I should have something to eat. Horrid and shakey with no CH is better than a delightfully calm body and a head full of raging fire.
One other thing - some people, myself included, actually like the taste of Red Bull. Many of the other energy drinks taste sickeningly sweet to me. Red Bull, Red Thunder, and Rockstar all taste drier and more refreshing to me.
Taste is a subjective thing.

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure i wasn't going nuts. I was told to give up coffee when they were trying to diagnose me 5 years ago and I think that must of contributed to the shakes.
To froggy - yep checked the 2 red bulls thread, but with a very low tolerance to caffeine at the moment, one seems to do fine. No doubt i'll be chugging 2 in no time
To brewcrew - I agree, I can handle shakey and horrid if it means the beast retreats back into his cave faster. Who really has time when the beast is knocking to think 1. I must eat, 2. Then scull Red Bull, 3. Assume the position and wait for the beast to leave.
PF vibes to you all.

Well, the other foot dropped last night. 2 red bulls back to back couldn't abort it and it turned into an agonizing kip 9 that lasted for about 3 hours. Nearly went to the ER, but was able to ride it out. I really need to get Imitrex and some O2 ASAP. Sorry if you guys are already sick of reading me bitch and moan.
I wish you all PFDANs.

By all means bitch and moan. It is known by some that caffeine is a double edged sword. It sometimes simply delays the inevitable. Use the imitrex,o2 and other abortives in the evening and night. Save the caffeine and others for the day. Evenually you will increase your daily intake of caffeine to a level that does no good. It will actually make the HA worse, and some believe begin a cycle of rebounds. So mix it up.
all the best

I have found that Rock Star works for me but as it has been said, probably not the choice of drinks for the evening. It is 3:30 a.m., the beast came knocking early and I slammed a 16 oz. Rockstar. Now I fear I am up for the day. Oh well it beats walking the beast around the house.
I am glad that I found this site, using the soft drink as an abortive med works for me and I don't have to plead with my neurologist and fight with the insurance comapnies to get prescription abortives.
Thanks to all you CH'ers, I have found someone who understands.

I drink Red Bull when a hit comes on and thought I would try the Diet version to avoid the sugar rush as well. I hate diet anything but the Diet Red Bull was not bad. I will drink the Diet version from now on to avoid a full blown hit or a hit altogether if I'm lucky.
The secret is drinking it before the beast even gets a chance to put his claws into you, You have to be fast, real fast!

I am a newbie to this board, and it is great to learn new ways to try and squash the beast. I too tried the red bull when I saw the post, and IT WORKED! I only try it one to two times a day (or night), and is has about a 50% sucess rate for me. 50% is better than nothing! Thanks for the info.

Mac and everyone else - the key to making red bull work is to take it at the first hint of trouble. The longer you delay the less it will work so chug it as fast as you can people!

I'm game.... What the heck is Red Bull, and where do I find it?
O2 for me works the same way, get on it at the very first instant or dance....

Red Bull/Monster Khaos drinks are still working great BUT the thing I've noticed with Tony is he has to dry out every couple of days or so. The tolerance seems to build up.
Believe me, if O2 did it for him, he'd go for that first. I suppose Red Bull is easier to transport than an oxygen set up.
