I'd talk to your doctor about warnings (like don't operate machinery)
and see how you tolerate the medication.

I've used Imitrex for example, and still felt odd a day later. We are
talking about drugs affecting a neurotransmitter pathway; serotonin.
Older medications, lysergic acid derivitives (yest that is what Dr.
Hoffman at Sandoz was working on) have even more lingering side
effects.

I am not a doctor, but a medicinal chemist. Bottom line, get an expert
opinion and be conservative. It is better to miss a day's flying than
end up injured or worse.
