Yes, it is a daunting new world that you have stepped (or stumbled) into. I suppose that in a way, we are physically dependant on our drugs (Not that they are narcotic, but if they were taken away, we would certainly manifest some distressing physical symptoms). I wish I knew how the various drugs were named but don't despair, when your physical comfort depends on it, it is surprising how quickly you become fluent in the new language.
