I'd be willing to bet that adrenaline would be the dominant neurochemical, and that doesn't always have a euphoric effect. Any post-stress euphoria would probably be rendered nugatory by death.
The euphoria would be the effect, not the cause.
So the love that I feel for my child can produce oxytocin or adrenaline depending on the situation?
Love is pretty amazing.
