I don't know the first answer.
The other two are correct -- except it's side effects.
We cannot tell without knowing which letter you already have for each word. I tried my Medical Dictionary for the first word with no luck; all the words either had 10 or 12 letters!

To check if your answers are correct, let's go through the clues and break them down to find the right answers:
1. A 11-letter word that describes psychological dependence on a drug:
To answer this clue, we need a term that describes the psychological aspect of drug addiction. The word you're looking for is "addiction."
2. A 11-letter word for the effect some drugs have when mixed together:
The word you suggested, "sideaffects," contains 12 letters instead of 11. However, the term commonly used in this context is "interactions." Drug interactions occur when the effects of one drug are altered due to the presence of another drug.
3. A 9-letter word that blocks a person's ability to perceive pain:
The word you suggested, "narcotics," contains 9 letters and correctly describes a group of drugs that block pain. Therefore, your answer is correct.
So, to recap:
- The correct answer for the psychological dependence on a drug is "addiction."
- The correct answer for the effect some drugs have when mixed together is "interactions."
- The correct answer for a 9-letter word that blocks a person's ability to perceive pain is "narcotics."
Great job on finding the correct answers!
