1. A method of monitoring the efficacy of medication, comprising:

  • providing a subject with a selected medication;

    monitoring the subject with a non-invasive respiratory monitoring system, the monitoring system illuminating the subject with radiated energy produced from within a selected wavelength range, detecting a reflection of the radiated energy from a surface that moves as a result of breathing by the subject, and identifying a waveform indicative of a breathing rate of the subject based on the reflection of the radiated energy;

    storing the waveform indicative of the breathing rate; and

    comparing the stored waveform to a previously designated waveform to determine whether the selected medication caused an unacceptable deviation in the breathing pattern of the subject.
