There is no "legal limit". That is a myth. BTW, 16mg of xanax may seem like a lot, but there are no hard rules considering response to benzodiazepines. In fact, it takes 10mg/day alprazolam to completely block panic attacks for many people.
I take 90mg phenelzine (may go up to 105 or 120 now that I Take testosterone) and up to 24mg buprenorphine per day, and would find benefit in taking the dosages of amphetamines that he does (usually they only START to fully help me at dosages equivalent to 40mg d-amphetamine per day, and I could easily take 120). When I get a private psychiatrist someday I intend to get back on d-amphetamine or d-meth. If I could afford it, I would be using illicit methamphetamine, that is how much of a difference it makes for me, despite my existing medication.
I have given many friends my extra buprenorphine, and those who do not listen to my dosing recommendations, i.e. NO MORE THAN 2MG TO START usually wind up vomiting wildly. Even when I was not opioid-tolerant, 2mg barely produced an effect in me. Dosages are arbitrary; what they are does not matter so long as they make you feel good and do not cause toxicity.
