doped up

High on substances

Doped up means under the influence of drugs, especially sedatives, narcotics, or medication that impairs alertness: They kept him doped up on painkillers after the surgery.

The phrase suggests being noticeably affected—groggy, sluggish, or mentally foggy rather than subtly medicated.

It can describe recreational drug use or heavy medical sedation.
