Getting through a migraine with a baby

How do you do it? My doctor wouldn't prescribe me any medication since she doesn't believe they're safe for breastfeeding. My baby is super active, low sleep needs and contact naps for 30mins only. I cant keep him inside in the dark with me all day. Cant go off and sit in the shower leaving him alone. It's been 2 days and I'm struggling hard.

Any breastfeeding mums taking medication? I have some leftover tramadol I'm tempted to take to get me through. Paracetamol doesnt do a thing.
