Question
To the honored rabbis shlita,
The doctor prescribed for me ongoing treatment with Clonex (a sedative medication) once a day because of restlessness. He said that if I skip the pill on Shabbat, it will not significantly disrupt the continuity of the treatment, but it will only cause increased restlessness on Shabbat.
Am I permitted to take Clonex on Shabbat?
