I need some help with usa federal law regarding large benzodiazepine prescriptions. So, here's the story . I went to my pyschatrist and told them that Ativan really does help me. It gives me a break from my depersonalization and helps me manage my stress and anxeity. He says okay, was the amount last time okay. I say at the time sure, but I'm not doing so great now, I would like the ability to take up to 1mg a night if needed. He says okay, do you want 90? I said yes thinking he meant 90 day supply, NOT 90 mg.

Go to the pharmacy and i felt so fucking judged. The worker slightly gleered at me as she handed me the bottle. Any ways, what I need help with. It says I have 3x refills by x/×/2023, I called it in to get refilled on the proper 30 day mark. And didn't get the confirmation code I usually get. I know pharmacy`s can denny refills for a list of reasons, but I very clearly do not come off as someone who abuses drugs. I dress nice, fairly clean cut, I look like a business guy. And sure, I snort them time to time, yet I rarely ever go over 1mg at night. And Honestly, my insurance is gonna drop because of a new job transition. So I am really hoping I can get all 3 filled. Otherwise I'm going to have to get them in a less safe fashion.

Is there any reason I'm not aware of that could stop them from filling it?

Is there a maximum perscription quantity

( if you read this far, thank you very much )
 
Your doctor made the mistake while writing the prescription. He will realise it cause 90mg of Ativan is so far from recommended upper limit that it is insane to even think that you could get that kind of prescription. If you had epilepsy than it would not be 90mg of Ativan but up to 20mg of Klonopin (which is arround 30-40 mg of Ativan). And you would be on other antiseizure meds. Heck even giving barbiturates in recommended doses would be considered by health experts waaaay more reasonable than 90mg of Ativan daily. It is a mistake you will not be able to refill it. But I am not American so what the hell do I know... 🙃

And why are you snorting it? Do you have snorting fetish from snorting other drugs? Not judging, wondering. Don't do that if this is all about cost/benefit analysis.

Take care man!

Its a total of 90mg per bottle, I'm prescribed to take up to 1mg a night as needed. Snorting it just makes it feel better. Well I guess I'll figure it out tomorrow when I go to the pharmacy.
 
@Benny444 So it is 3mg daily? Sorry I misread that. Then yup you are fine with that. :)

Edit - but what is confusing is that numbers dont add up. 1mg daily is no more than 31mg monthly. That is the reason why you got that look in the pharmacy.

No I take up to 1mg a day, most the time I don’t take that much. But that’s besides the point.

Yeah I get that it looks weird having 90mg for a month supply. I just really hope they don’t reject the refill. I don’t have a lot of time left on my insurance, and this supply could last me over a year.

It really bothers me telling doctors and psychiatrists that I want this medication. Honestly I don’t believe any government should be allowed to tell an adult what they can or can not take.
 
I get your sentiment. But (there is always one isn't it 🤣) as somebody who was basically forced to take benzodiazepines for 5 years and than had few horrible slow taper withdrawals that were terminated cause of sheer pain and anguish that they bring I would advise to really be cautious with even 0.5mg. If you don't like to be ruled by outside forces benzos can lead to waaay more brutal authoritarian. It is just inside you as disruption of the GABA system in the body which is essential for inhibiting fiering of the neurons in your whole body (oposing force comes via glutamate, in dr. Googles terms, which is my highest level of understanding cause I am not a medical expert). Using benzos shapes your CNS and ANS in a way that inner certified degree dictator emerges if used for prolonged period of time. I am still on benzos and will probably be till the rest of my life 2 decades after I was forced to start taking them. Proceed with great caution. They certainly have their place and are too vilified and I hope that they will serve you well. Not vice versa. Take care man and update us how it went. 🙂
 
you don't have anything to worry about with a 3mg per day ativan script. Trust me, they're not judging you.. or at least they shouldn't be.
When I was 19 and getting my monthly prescription of 40mg per day of valium, now then I definitely had some awkward encounters with pharmacists lmao. They'd be like, "You know this is a massive amount of valium? Can I call your doctor?" Had to do it several times. Once they realized it was from an addiction specialist and so that I could taper on my own from benzos they didn't give me such a hard time.
