I have managed to put aside 100 x 1mg alprazolam, which I keep "in stock", so if my supply was suddenly cut, I could easily taper over 6-8 weeks, which for me would be easy.
That said, my psychiatrist seems quite happy for me to keep using them for as long as I need them/continue to get benifit. If I tried to increase the dose or started running out early, he would be onto me like a ton of bricks, but as long as I use them sensibly as directed, he seems happy to prescribe.
I too tend to under use them, I am prescribed 1mg tid, but only take the three pills on "bad" days, on avarage days I take one in the morning and one at night, so my prescription invariably lasts me longer than planned.
