Oxygen is a better option.

I'm sure it's like Ritalin....it would make most of us into ping pong balls but it'll mellow out an ADD Kid! Grin

Off cycle if I drink coffee after about 2:00 in the afternoon, I'm still staring at the ceiling wishing I could fall asleep at midnight! On cycle I can do a Red Bull at 6:00 at night and be sound asleep at 9:00!

But yeah.....oxygen......I still use the energy drinks as a one/two punch with the oxygen. Oxygen kills the attack in less then 10 minutes, energy drink keeps it from coming back for several hours. Do look into the oxygen.

The term 'energy drink' is marketing hype. It has about half the caffeine of a large cup of coffee, taurine (which is actually relaxing) and some sugar. If you are a 15 year old kid who doesn't drink coffee, it will be stimulating. If your blood sugar is low, it will be refreshing (for a bit, with possible blood sugar drop once your insulin spikes). I personally wouldn't go over 2 cans of the stuff at a time, but the urban legends about these being 'liquid crack' aren't accurate.

The outer boundary of what we currently believe is feasible is far short of what we actually must do.

This is just an off the cuff crackpot theory, but I wonder if that brain burning assault that a CH attack will do deadens for awhile the receptors or whatever in the brain that ordinarily respond to the "caffeine = I'm peppy!" message.

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.
