[carlisle1]

I had heard many of my friends who are into gambling complain to me about gambling disorder but couldn’t understand what that means until recently when a close associate got into the same mess and need help, but I was helpless because I couldn’t give the right answers to his question. This friend is almost turning into something else and needs help.

No, you should not recommend any drug even if it is a nonprescriptive drug, if you think that your friend is really in trouble then look or recommend a good professional that deals with gambling issues, let the professional recommend the right medicines, and customize a plan of healing.
There are groups called gambling anonymous that can help your friend to meet a good professional and the group can also help you to moderate his gambling activity.

Getting someone who have a much wider knowledge regarding to your friend's issue is far better than trying to help him out without any ideas,

medications are being recommended by those who knows the problem that well.
Addictions or stress coming from this kind of problem mostly healed by the person's self-will.

No drugs or anything that will going to work without the determinations of the person who are infected by this issue, you can help by keep guiding him/her not to fall for more.

No, mental help is what he needs. Ask for a psychologist help because it's the one that your friend needs to have. Those professionals in that line knows how to deal with what your friend's problem.
They're specialized in that kind of help.

He needs to help his friend before it's too late to do because his friend conditions can become worst if it is not get help as soon as possible. I am afraid that his friend can become crazy because of his problem and it can attract his friend to do the worst thing that we do not know what is the impact. I hope he can control the situation of his friend and bring him to the psychologist at the right time.

I am not a hundred percentage sure what it means, but there are drugs that help you to clear your mind and concentrate. These drugs are not directly for gambling but for kids with concentration deficits. A good friend of mine was using Ritalin before big exams in university. I never tried it myself but he said it helped him a lot. For me the best was just coffee or energy drinks. Maybe also a bit more sleep could help.
