Can a Person Become Physically Addicted to Xanax if Taken Only Part-Time, Say Four Days a Week?

Question by Melissa: Can a person become physically addicted to xanax if taken only part-time, say four days a week?
I am thinking of getting back on it for severe anxiety and sleep issues, but wish to prevent physical addiction. If I were to take .5 mg’s four times a week at night, do you think this would prevent physical addiction? I understand that it is very easy to build up a tolerance to this drug, and so therefore am looking for a way around this. Thanks in advance.

I take Xanax as well, .10 mg. Youre fine, youre taking it the way youre supposed to, it does not sound like youre abusing it at all. (I am to take two 10 mg a day and im totally fine) =)
