I'd talk to your doctor about warnings (like don't operate machinery)

I intend to do that of course.

I've used Imitrex for example, and still felt odd a day later. We are
talking about drugs affecting a neurotransmitter pathway; serotonin.


My doctor therefore advised me a drug that is originally intended for
heart problems (Dutch: beta blokker). And in anyway, there are days I
can't fly without any drugs also :-)

Bottom line, get an expert
opinion and be conservative. It is better to miss a day's flying than
end up injured or worse.


Oh, but I agree with that, of course. I think that when one is not fully
healthy one knows better how to be conservative, than anyone else. Just
thought I might get some experts opinion in here too, because experience
makes excellent experts IMO.
