Can what?: Do you mean you don't know if you can take the colonoscopy prep? If you're feeling too ill from fibromyalgia or migraine, call GI doctor to discuss and re-schedule colonoscopy when you feel better. But be sure to have it done soon. It may save your life.

Take fibro meds: Over half of fibro patients have GI symptoms so colonoscopy is worthwhile to look for pathology. You need to stop food intake and evacuate the colon to prep but this does not stop necessary medicines unless they had a strong dye color that would change the colon images . Highly doubtful in your meds. Always can check with GI doc
