overdrugging

Verb

overdrug (third-person singular simple present overdrugs, present participle overdrugging, simple past and past participle overdrugged)

1. (transitive) To drug too heavily.
   • The conclusion to which I come is that in mania all drugs are uncertain in their effect; that food, restraint in rooms, with confinement to the bed if necessary, are more important than medicine. Especially is it desirable not to overdrug the patient.1873, The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, volume 88, page 53
