I think this definition is suitable only from a medical point of view. kick back would relate to a medication that sedates and relaxes. I'd like to have someone else's point of view on this please.

Hi,
This is a relatively new use of the slang term 'kick back', which also has several other meanings.
My interpretation of where the meaning comes from is this. You kick off your shoes, and lean back. Perhaps you also 'kick' your feet into the air and put them down on a footstool.
I've never heard it used relating to a medication that sedate
