airplane flights

Hi all, I will be taking a plane trip (about a 5 hour trip) in Nov. and typically I get killer attacks on the plane and so have not taken a plane trip in a year and a half. Now need to visit my son so..... I have Zomig nasal spray now; is there any danger in taking it on a plane, due to airpressure changes etc.? Will the caffeine/analgesic thing work also?(It works for me on my "every night" attacks.) Can I do both the caffeine and the Zomig? Has anyone done the caffeine/analgesic as a preventive on the plane? I also take a decongestant on all plane trips as I have trouble with the pressure change upon landings. Does anyone know if using any of those meds negate the use of the other? I am open to all suggestions. (I know about taking a prescription for O2 on board, but the O2 doesn't take the pain away for me. I am also on Verap. all the time.) Thanks for any input. Madaline

You will have no problem with the things you mention, I also use Zomig NS (Its a life saver for me) and I fly often.
Give your doc a call just to be on the safe side, whats good for me may not be good for you......better safe than sorry

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I dont use those meds but I used to use the Trex nasal. I fly quite a bit and keep the nasals I have left just for the flights so I dont have the hassle of the needles and security. All I use is trex inj and O2, wish I could be more of a help...

I travel quite a bit with my job and use Imitrex nasal (along with Verapamil) when in cycle. I've never had a problem using the nasal spray on a plane and it has been a lifesaver on several occassions.
Best of luck - I'm sure you'll be fine.

I always travel with a healthy stash of trex SQ, never been stopped or questioned, just bring the script, just in case. I usually boost up my caffeine intake, sleep is always my enemy when he's in town. Zomig does give me some extended relief and I do take it with caffeine amongst other things.
Anything that works is my rule.

Yeah, maybe have a few beers or glasses of red wine in the airport lounge before you take off too. Maybe a little pungent aromatherapy pillow over your shoulder once you get seated. (pardon the sarcasm ---- for the uninitiated don't do these things)
