[snipped, but read thoroughly]

All the usual warnings about discussing with your doctor
and checking with applicable authorities apply.


This was informative and helpful. Thank you for your time and work on
this. I appreciate it very much.

Barbara,

I am coming into this thread a bit late, but here it is: I asked my
wife (who suffers from occasional migraines) how does her IMITREX
affect her ability to drive. Answer: not at all. Still, as many of my
predecessors on this posting have indicated, it would be worthwhile to
investigate with your own flying authorities.

Cheers, Charles
