Title: O2 and rebounds
Post by justin on Jul 28^th, 2002, 12:28am

i'm sure it's been brought up but i didn't feel like searching.

anyone have problems with rebounds and oxygen

i get like 8 clusters about 3-6 on the kip scale that last about 15-20 mins with O2 aborting them while i'm trying to sleep between 2-9am. one is always so bad i need imitrex and it's usually around 230 or 30. then i get this last doosy wall banger at noon or so that i need imitrex for as well. not been a fun ride the last 3/4 months

I do not think that oxygene alone can give you rebound headache.But i know that the shots can do that with some people depending how many hours between the shots.

There is no such thing as a Rebound Clusterheadache!

If you use oxygen to abort an attack you are doing just that: abort the current attack. This has no influence at all on any further attacks, they will come whether you abort the current one or not.

Oxygen will have an aftereffect of 20-30 minutes. It is quite possible that the same attacks resurfaces after this time, especially if it was triggered by something you ingested.

Rebound headache

Rebound headache is a type of chronic headache that can result from overuse of pain relievers. This is often a problem for people who have frequent, severe headaches. A pain reliever may work for a limited period of time, but as the effect wears off, the headache returns, often worse than it was before. The person then takes more pain relievers, the effects of these wear off, and the headache returns (rebound headache).

Hope this helps

Hey Ueli my friend

I do not think i used the phrase Rebound Clusterheadache because we all know that does not exist.
But i was refering to if you are using to much imitrex in a short time,you can get headache of that.Headache but not CLUSTER.
Thats a well known sideeffect of imitrex.Its also called flashbacks here.
Hope that i did not missunderstood the title of your message Ueli.If that i`m sorry for that

Your Friend Svenn
