I am prescribed xanax 1mg/3x a day. My doctor said that this is the max allaowed by law. Is he right? I ask because I have a tolerance to this med and would like to know if it is indeed legal to prescribe more that that. He claimed that the xanax 2mg is only allowed to be taken 1x a day. Is this true or is he BS'ing me? Or is there some other way around this, if it is indeed the law... such as prescribing 2 different brands of benzos such as xanax and valium or klonopin. I ask especially because I have known a person who gets the 2mg xanax and is allowed more than one a day... and also, I seem to have developed a tolerance.

If you have built up a tolerance, then it really doesn't matter if you would take that fourth one if you really needed it. I thought that there were stronger ones than that. Anyway, I used to do pills for fun, but I am way past that. I used to would take about 4 or 5 xanax and just feel good. I didn't even do them but occasionally. I am not telling you to take more than your doctor tells you, I am just giving my opinion!
