Hi,
Post migraine attack you will have such after affects frequently. They wear off soon. Nausea coupled with bad taste is sometimes a part of the syndrome. The taste and nausea can be attributed to the medicines that were administered. You had no mention about the medicines given. The entire episode seems to had taken a toll on your general health. The body takes some time to recover, wean off the tiredness, may be a week or two. Bouncy pupils may not mean anything specific. It needs further evaluation if it is couple with vision impairment / pain / redness in the eye. It should be a symptom of concern if you have dizziness / hearing issues.
Avoid nausea causing medication. I hope you are given antacid drugs which are necessary during this stressful event.
I think you need a lot of rest for the body and eyes. You can think of learning holistic approaches like meditation, yoga and breathing exercises.
Let me know if I miss anything worrying you the most.

I was given a steroid through iv and turadol also through iv. The taste was occuring before going into er. and the only real vision problems i keep having since then is on and off it is like looking through smoke and when my eyes are closed sometimes it seems like someone is flashing a bright light in front of my eyes even though I cover my face to stop this from happening. And also my husband wanted me to mention that while I am laying down I will feel like some one is tipping the bed and I feel like I am going to fall off it. As far is hearing I have no real problems other then some sound sensitivity I figure is due to the headaches.
I do try to meditate. So I really like that you suggested that. :)
Thank you for your time.

This is exactly I thought, the symptoms seems to be consistent for Migraine with XXXXXXX The XXXXXXX component shall last longer than the migraine without XXXXXXX So be prepared. Ofcourse the medications wean off easily.
But I am sure you will have feel better when you start the meditation and slow breathing exercise with one nostril and leaving through the other sitting on the mat. Do this for 10 to 20 breaths, 3 to 5 times a day. start slowly and increase it.
All the best.
