Question/Comment:

I get frequent migraines, especially with the rainy, high dew point, and drastic changes in weather. I'm allergic to chocolate, all fermented foods and drinks, soy, mold/mildew, and dust. Just had R knee minisectomy and taking Lodine for anti-inflammatory pain. Is it okay to take Lodine and later take Compazine to abort a Migraine? Pharmacist said Compazine and Ibuprofen don't mix. Who am I asking this question of? Pharmacist?, Doctor?
