Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

The Oxymetazoline is a drug which helps in contraction or narrowing of vessels and not implicated in alteration of mood.

There is some possibility that few of its metabolites may slightly change the perception of environment leading to increased sense of well being but it is very rare to happen.
