In the US, I believe regulations over Schedule IV drugs is variable state to state. Maybe your best source of info would be from a pharmacist in your area.
Did you inquire from your doc the reason for them prescribing as they did for you? If you think this is not a therapeudic dose for you, do you think your doc will work with you? If not and you use Xanax approiately, maybe you need to look into a new doc.
I think there are a number of reasons benzos seem to be such a touchy, sticky subject. Most of these reasons were not borne out of thin air. Nor do I believe out of a desire to not adequately treat people who use approiately and really benefit from these meds. There are liability issues and there are societal issues. I don’t think we can deny there is abuse potential and tolerance problems. I think those are some of factors that have made it difficult on approiate users. From most folks, benzos do what they promise – that’s the good news, but it’s, in a fashion, also the bad news.
