pillhead
Prescription drug abuser
A pillhead is someone who habitually uses pills, especially prescription drugs like painkillers, sedatives, or stimulants, for recreational purposes or addiction rather than medical need.
The term is mildly derogatory: Her ex was a pillhead who'd crush up anything he could find.
Compare pothead, crackhead.
