Medication

[Spartan King 1979]

Quick question. My neighbors son is looking at joining the Canadian Military and His father knows I am heading to BMQ on Jan 20th, but he is on a sleep aid called DAYVIGO.

Does anyone know if this sleep aid which is not a narcotic or a sedative will be accepted at BMQ, as He has always had some difficulty even at 30 years of age of sleeping.

I had no clue, so I said I will pass it it on. Any thoughts. Blessings.

So, this drug is a prescription only sedative-hypnotic, just works differently than benzodiazepine or tricyclic or "Z" drugs. He'll have to go through the usual stuff with the RMO - as to why's/wherefore's and if it's acceptable to be on it or not, what happens when he hasn't any access, etc, not mention the big question of why does he have chronic insomnia.

Thanks for the information. I am not sure about His insomnia, but I will pass it along.

I agree with medicineman, much to unpack here.
