my step mom use to get 60 bars a month.. every month... thats 2.0 MG Xanax a day.. so yes they do prescribe large amounts.
what does that have to do with this person or what he would receive lol... your step mom probably had a panic disorder or something else like bad GAD!
think of the specific patient... you're talking about a guy withdrawing and posting about it on JSP who felt better after a coffee n dabs lol
all he needs is symptom coverage and he is good man... nothing heavy duty, nothing long term
also Xanax is a lot more intense (habit-forming and potent) than something like 0.25s of clonazepam or 0.5 mg Ativan or 5mg diazepam

still, sometimes patients need 10mg Xanax to feel okay... usually a specialist will provide it though
