Poll question: Medications
Not "what" but how do you refer to them?

I don't know whether this is regional dialects or just different in terms of environment. I noticed this one day and realize I, too, call them different things at different times.

So what do you call them most of the time?

1. Other - perscriptions and/or drugs

I know you said 'most of the time', but the two are so interchangeable that I couldn't say that I use one more than the other :)
Occasionally meds, but very rarely. "off your meds" more than anything.

3. I call them "drogas" because I'm funny that way.

I have noticed a propensity among the young'ns to call them "meds."

EDIT: Now that I understand what you were asking, if I had to discuss my drogas in polite company, I'd refer to it as my prescription.
