Elder Emo Posted Sunday at 12:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:09 PM Hello fellow CHers. Just laying in bed after a sleepless night scouring the threads here for any new info to help with my most current attack. The shadows have been intense lately, and I've yet to try Taurine. I tried finding the recommended dosage to take, but no luck. Any recommendations? It seems the standard mg that I can purchase online is 1000mg. Does that sound about right? Also, has anyone noticed any side effects with taking it? I can be sensitive to lots of caffeine, and I believe this ingredient is found in energy drinks, so I want to be careful. Any insight is appreciated. Here's to more pain free days. Much love to all of you. Elder Emo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted Sunday at 03:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:02 PM Here's someone talking about a dose of 2000mg taurine to abort attacks. Taurine to stop onset of Cluster Headache - General Board - ClusterBusters It's hard to tell how much taurine is in a 5-Hour Energy shot, but one place lists it as roughly 480mg. An 8-ounce Red Bull is said to have 1000mg of taurine. This is another discussion of taurine: Taurine Supplements - General Board - ClusterBusters If you put taurine into the search bar at the top right of any page, you'll see quite a few entries, of which some might be helpful, although most don't mention specific dosages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHfather Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago This is unrelated, except that taurine is involved. I post it here only because I just read it tonight, and thought it was fascinating, and taurine gives me the excuse. From What It's Like to be a Bird (great book!): "Chickadees mostly bring caterpillars to their newly hatched nestlings (they can collect over a thousand in a day), but for the first week or so after hatching the adults make special efforts to seek out spiders to feed their young. Spiders provide the nutrient taurine, which is essential for brain development and other functions." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Whoa, newly armed with this info, clearly we all need to get snacking on spiders, stat. Any encounter with a house spider should now be considered a welcome opportunity to consume a nutritious CH relieving morsel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejeeber Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I guess I've just personally been clueless and totally missing out - gonna head straight to the garage and rummage behind boxes and stuff in hopes of making up for lost time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
