As a GENERAL RULE you can probably figure that routine or repeated use of any medication that carries a “black box” warning is going to require a substantial look at by the FAA before (and if) you can be cleared for flight - especially for commercial ratings and above. One can whine all one wants about that being “ridiculous” but you aren’t the one who is going to have to answer the question if “Why the hell did you let him fly on THAT,” when the NTSB gets the toxicology reports from the mishap.
