> I've heard that some doctors do become addicted to xanax and that it's an extremely nasty addiction, and very hard to work away from. My pdoc has often been consulted in difficult cases like that, and he still prescribes xanax, but strongly recommends not taking more than 2 mg a day, because as you move up, the addictive potential becomes much stronger.

I thought the "magic number" was 4 mg, but maybe that just what the manufacturers publish, not what occurs in real life.

Is it possible for someone to just not become addicted? I really don't feel like I am. I don't crave it. I don't hoard it. I'm not out looking for another doctor because I'm currently not being prescribed regular Xanax, which I prefer over others.

I'd think that if I were seriously addicted I would have gone out of my way to either beg my doctor to switch me back or contact every doctor in the area and see if they'd be willing to rx daily Xanax. But I haven't done these things. I'm just quietly dissatisfied.
