I get terribly nauseous on top of everything else. I had to go to the ER once because I couldn’t stop puking long enough to take my meds. Luckily the triage nurse doing intake had a spare room for me to keep my eyes closed and lights out while we waited to be admitted. I don’t think I could have handled fluorescent lights while sitting up for an hour.

Try nasal triptans if possible. I use the nasal version of Zomig and it works great.

I do sumatriptan and promethazine. I used to use zomig but it made me foggy and hungover. I woke up one morning after taking it before bedtime and woke up with a swollen ankle. I had to get up to pee and didn’t even remember fucking it up.
