This is for an adult male, about 160lbs, if it makes a difference. Thanks!

yeah, i know about the prescribed amount. i'm just thinking with Anna Nicole Smith's son dying while on antidepressants, one can't be too careful.

I work in a pharmacy and you should always only take the amount prescribed by your doctor! Valium comes in different strengths also so without the strength I cant say what the maximum is. But I can tell you that overdosing happens way too often and can be prevented by just reading the label on the bottle.
-Be safe take what the doctor says.

There was a report a few years ago about someone who took one Valium with a beer. She died. The best thing is to only take medication that the doctor prescribed to you in the dose he recommends.

First off you shouldn't be taking more than the prescribed amount. But, for the stupid people, it depends on your body. Even people of same weight will process medications different.

This question is so overloaded with liability, I'm not going to touch it. Way too many varibles beyond weight alone.
