I was told that the oxygen can give you a boost of energy and euphoria, but I didn't get any good information on the internet about this, so I'm asking for your opinion and experiences. Anyone had this effects?

I'm asking this because my parents said that I looked a little crazy after doing the oxygen. Is this a real effect or was I just happy because the pain was gone?

I apologize if this is a repeated question, but staring at the computer makes It come, so I didn't browse that much.

Nope, never felt anything but relief from O2, even at very high flow rates.  
I used to feel a real euphoria at the end of a hit, back before any meds or oxygen - that was an honest to goodness "high" that I actually miss. Must have been an endorphin rush.  (No, I'm not willing to back there again!)

Same as Marc for me. I think what you heard is just another myth about O2. It may be just because you got over having a CH attack that you appeared a little "crazy" to your parents.?

No o2 side effects here either, right after kicking the beast's ass to to curb with o2 I am good to go! ;)

I've never heard of it.

This would be my guess.

Before a cluster, and after, my Mom can tell. It doesn't matter if I've hidden it in my room, she can ALWAYS tell.

She says I look like I'm either about to, or just had a seizure. She honestly thought I WAS having them when my cycle started.

My aunt has told me a few times that I've got a wild/crazy look in my eyes or on my face. Generally before I can tell her, Mom answers for me. "She just had a headache." This is reguardless of oxygen use.

I get that incredible euphoria after I've aborted a hit using the 02. Euphoria is the only word for it because my whole body is just like WOW!!! I beat it! I don't get the same euphoria when I abort using imitrex. It still stops the headache, but it leaves me feeling down.

Nope, not for me.  

Most of my hits were at night after sleeping.  I did find that after aborting a hit with O2, I would be up for about an hour before I could go back to sleep.  I think that it was more the fear of getting another hit.

When awoken at night to use, I can usually fall asleep again very readily afterwards, reason for no strap on mask.  Many times though, it makes me have to go pee, don't know why.         ::)

Euphoria that the hit is over, not from the 02
