hey guys,

i have a quick question regarding medication and self grounding if you needed to take a muscle relaxer to be comfortable i would assume you must ground your self via the self grounding FAR but i cant seem to find it in section 91 or 61 under medical stuff in the far/aim do you happen yo know what the specific FAR for that is?
 
Dont' know about if it's a grounding item or not, but here's the applicable regulations:

§ 61.53 Prohibition on operations during medical deficiency.

(a) Operations that require a medical certificate. Except as provided for in paragraph (b) of this section, no person who holds a medical certificate issued under part 67 of this chapter may act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember, while that person:
(1) Knows or has reason to know of any medical condition that would make the person unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation; or
(2) Is taking medication or receiving other treatment for a medical condition that results in the person being unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation.

§ 91.17 Alcohol or drugs.

(a) No person may act or attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft—
(3) While using any drug that affects the person's faculties in any way contrary to safety
