The answer

It is permissible for a person afflicted with illnesses to take sedative or other medicinal drugs if they are beneficial, due to the permissibility of seeking medical treatment. However, it is not permissible to take anything that causes harm, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm." The decisive reference in this matter belongs to specialists such as doctors and practitioners of Shariah (Islamic exorcision).
