How many 'drugs' can I use on...

[TRMC]

How many 'drugs' can I use on my pokemon? Is there a limit? (I'm talking about hp up, carbos etc. Haven't played in a long time)

Yes. You can use up to 10 per Stat, and up to 51 total. Each vitamin is worth 10 Effort Points, and the cap is 510 EPs. 510/10=51.

But if there are 5 stats, where is the fifty-first used vitamin coming from?

There are 6 Stats since GSC. In the 3rd Gen Games, ALL Stats have their own modifier. Special Attack and Special Defense don't share the same Special modifier anymore (A meassure made in GSC to allow trading with RBY...).

In short, 5 of the Stats can get 10 Vitamins, while the remaining Stat can only get one. Say you give 10 Vitamins to all Stats except HP. If you do that, you can only feed 1 HP Up to your Pokémon... it's simple...

*slaps himself on the forehead* Six stats! Of course! Sorry, I've been playing Crystal version lately so I forgot about Zinc. Thanks for reminding me!
