Nov of 08 I was diagnosed with migraines and was giving 4 different types of medicines. Two of them the FAA wouldn't allow me to take with a medical b/c they were for sleep. I told my doc that and he said that I needed to take it to see if they worked before he could do anything else. The next time I saw him I told him that I took them once and had a reaction to them so I couldn't them again. I never took them, I just wanted to go on to the next step so I could get better. Well I haven't had headaches for over a year and now preparing for my first physical since joining the FAA. I got a copy of my medical records so I could put the dates and names of the doctors I talk to when BAM!!! I came across the date I told the doc that I had a reaction to the drugs and he wrote it down verbatim! Is this something that I can explain to the flight surgeon if they review my files? It probably doesn't help that I didn't report any of the medications because I have never seen the flight surgeon since reporting to my first facility.

Report them the next time you see the flight surgeon. You can explain everything then. Just be truthfull about everything and you should be ok.
