Don't listen to him, your a very important Bluelighter with plenty of great knowledge.

Personally I don't think anyone NEEDS more than 8mg of Klonopin of Xanax or benzos with equivalent max doses. Those are doses reserved only for benzo tolerant people. Chronic anxiety or not, If you are taking anymore than that its simply addiction with justifications.
 
exactly, i cant even get into detox, as all the beds are taken, so i been getting by, 100mg valium i just filled, and i do feel relaxed, so maybe my tolerance is going down. tomorrow ill have my .5 Kpin, ill try my BEST to take maybe 2-4mg a day, and skip a day or two due to its long half life, and decrease my dose, and deal with rebound anxiety

shit man i cant imagine getting a teeth pulled just to get a benzo but i guess addiction is a bitch.
you should look into phenazepam. its legal, cheap and the dose is like 1 or 2 mg, which for im sure would be alot higher but its still cheaper than a visit to the doctor or whatever.

He didn't really pull his teeth it was a figure of speech. I thought he meant it also. lol

There used to be an old dentist (long dead, before anyone PM's me, LOL) in Joplin, Missouri who wrote a script for dilaudid anytime he pulled a tooth. Lot of junkies in that town that don't have a tooth left.

I got a dentist to write me 30 4mg Dilaudid last appointment, I had an abcessed tooth and didn't get any work done that appointment, just got the Dilaudid/antibiotics =D.

You pulled your teeth for benzos? Fucking shit.

The maximum daily dose for alprazolam and clonazepam is 8mg so don't expect anymore than that. And its very rare to be prescribed doses like that. I only got 8mg clonazepam because I switched from psychiatrist to psychiatrist because of the waiting time in the office was always forever to get to see my real psychiatrist. I just told each one that my last appointment we planned on upping the dose. These were all rookie psychs, like their first week or two of practicing.

It doesn't always matter about the equivalence of benzodiazepines, thats meant for tapering, also some people react different to other benzodiazepines. For instance, when I was tapering I was switched from my final mg of clonazepam to 20mg diazepam and I barely felt the diazepam like I did with the clonazepam, which was so more powerful.

How long have you been taking more than prescribed? More importantly, how legitimate is your anxiety per your need to take benzodiazepines?

It's one thing if you're just looking for a buzz and/or now attempting to combat the physical symptoms as a result of simply abusing the stuff. But it's another thing for you to consider, and to discuss with your doctor, if your anxiety is not being adequately treated with the right type and/or amount of meds, causing you to self-medicate. While I don't know your situation well enough, it sounds like you need to make some type of change. So be honest with yourself.

As far as telling your doctors everything, that's a tricky one. In theory I would say that honesty and trust are fundamental values in establishing and maximizing ones treatment. Unfortunately, while there may be some merit for having taken more than prescribed, most docs would already be weighing on the fact you have a history of opioid and alcohol abuse, and view it solely as classic addict behavior and may very well discontinue your med regimen indefinitely. Again, be honest with yourself as to how much you really need to be taking benzos. If the situation is that dire where you are spiraling out of control, it may be better that you get off of the benzos, at least temporarily, to possibly better reevaluate your psycho-pharmacological treatment.

yea most doctors will not prescribe meds you haven't been on for a long time especially benzos if you have a history of abuse and they know. If they don't know then thats another think. I know when I asked my sub doctor for a sleep aid he laughed and said quit doctor shopping me it wont work and I really wasn't but he was weird as shit. He told me to take subs WHENEVER i had w/d sypmtoms and that I could take bupe 6 hours after doing heroin and vicodin.....

i have the habit seeking benzos as im addicted and need atleast 10mg kpin/xanax to get the relief, which clearly is abuse.would love not to be dependent on them.

sub doc has me on kpin .5 3x a day, psychiatrist gave me only 2wk supply kpin .5 3x day/very anti benzo, pulled teeth to get it, and temazepam for sleep. went to primary doc claiming alcohool W/D. given 10mg 4x a day. getting my month supply tomorrow for kpin, just worried im red flagged as i filled 2wk supply kpin yesterday, and valium last wed, and i just need the benzos to stop W/D. i could tell my sub doc i need to stop and tell him my true tolerance but im on thin rope with him....all got filled, worried to fill the kpin tomorrow as i filled the same dose and amt a day 2wk supply yesterday,...idk im a mess.....legal trouble??? valium sucks, i ate 60 5mg tabs at once, felt muscle relaxation for like an hour, yet they say 10mg=1mg kpin/valium, or they say .5 = 10MG valium, either way whats up with valium not doing shit even taken large amts?

sorry for this off base topic and if it dont make sense, should i be honeat with my sub doc and say listen u got me on ,5 3x a day kpin, but i need to stop my tolerance is going up im on it long term from u, and i just keep upping my dose, as tolerance increases? idk what to do

this is obnoxious and im not judging you but fucking duh its red flagging you. I had to switch pharmacys to get my old doctor back. If you fill the scripts at the same pharmacy or go to 2 different ones youll still get fucked but for me I left some filled scripts at the old pharmacy so they couldnt say shit. just chill out man i had the same problem a year ago, just fucking get lyrica or something else to abuse and lay off of em. its hard for the first week i suppose but its not thaaat hard. I was taking 20mg xanax and drinking everyday for months and months and months. then I HAD to cut down. just deal with the agony for a bit.

Interesting how the max. amount that can be prescribed per day seems to vary depending where you live.

Here the max. amount of Xanax is 12mg/day and 10mg for Klonopin.

see i cannot and would not take that much xanax or klonopin ever again. i am happy that i can take 3mgs of klonopin and be OK, and I still have xanax leftover when I'm taking a break from restoril and even then the max dose I will take is 4-5mg's but I usually just take 4
