Migraine medication question
Posted: 01-08-2010, 08:15 PM

Would you happen to know if Maxalt for migraines is disqualifying? I use it a few times a month to control moderate migraines. I know that they are not necessarily disqualifying in all cases

Also, i used to use Nortriptyline a few years ago to try and prevent migraines. I don't use it anymore however. Its been over two years since my last dose. Is that medication disqualifying (i believe other anti-depressants are?) even though i haven't taken it in over two years??

Thanks!

The Nortriptylline is dysqualifying so don't use it. The imitrex should be fine if your not flying while on it.
