Mixing Imitrex and O2

Hello,
 Newbe first post.  I am wondering about success rates of mixing a little Imitrex and Oxygen.  After reading a lot here, I started O2 and got my first success last night for my 9pm CH.  Unfortunately, I was awakened for my usual 1am CH with a feeling of a certain kip 10 coming on.  I was uncertain that O2 could handle this, nor did I think 3mg Imitrex could do the trick, so I did the full 6mg Imitrex and had relief after 15 minutes of kip 10 and got a decent night of sleep.  So today, I’m walking around with a constant rebound headache.  Is this the shadow everyone talks about?  I’m sure it’s the Imitrex.
 Time to come up with another game plan.  As an aside, I can’t help wondering if the O2 abort had anything to do with the kip 10 later.  Probably not, but I thought the same thing about my experiment with melatonin that ended the same way.  Anyways, I like my sleep and am thinking I’ll try the O2 for a mild 1am CH and if severe, I’ll do 3mg Imitrex and O2.  Anyone have any luck or ideas on this?  I guess I don’t have confidence in the O2 yet.  ClusterMask is on order.  Thanks!

Hit the O2 hard and fast.  Dont wait, dont second guess.
 
For me, I hit the O2 immediately, but if the O2 is not working within 5 to 6 minutes, i take a shot......but keep on the O2.  
 
Make sure you are getting O2 at 12 to 15 litres.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half the population is stupider than that.

Thanks for the advice.  If you need the Imitrex, do you go straight to 6mg, or start at a lower dosage?
